Question

If Canberra had survived Savo Island, how long would repairs have taken?

Short answer

Several months or possibly years, depending on the number and location of torpedo hits.

Notes

A surviving Canberra could remain out of service for several months or even years. The estimate depends on how many torpedoes struck and where they hit. No single repair duration is offered without that damage information.
