A new weight and balance, after a tail boom repair, shows that several tens of pounds of trim weight needs to be added to a forward location in order to move the CG back into acceptable range.

A properly done repair should not add more than 2 or 3 pounds at the tail skid. That would need about 10 in the nose. Many ships have some fixed ballast aft that can be removed to get back in range without lots of nose ballast.
What type of ship and where was it broken?
