In this case Lemon car.

Our illustrious government here in Canada purchased several used subs from Britain. They got a nice price for them, of course the first leaked, which is not good if you want to surface after you go underwater. The others have had shown hidden hull damage and and bad pipes, and seals which will help them sink nicely.

Be assure there will not be any of those babies in the theatre of operations.
