In the US at least you can be pretty confident that it comes from somewhere within the country, since it exports ~$28bn and imports only $0.4bn worth of soybeans. In the rest of the world though that's definitely an important consideration.

It was damaged by a fire during transportation in 2015, and as far as I can tell from googling hasn't been in the water since.

I believe the forward end cap (where the porthole is installed) is titanium, and exposed on both sides, so presumably that's what they'd be banging on.
