Meshing problems-incoherent edge mesh

Hi Guys - would really appreciate any help you could give me on the following problem. I am modelling the end section of a surge vessel and have added stiffeners on the end plate to reflect what is currently built. When I mesh the structure the outer shell mesh won't align with the plate mesh on the stiffeners. I have meshed using an iterative adjustment but still this problem does not resolve. The outer cyclinder was created by extruding a circle and the current mesh layout seems to match the number of divisions that was applied when that wsa extruded - maybe that can be adjusted to fix this? Would really appreciate if you could show/tell me how best to resolve this.

Cylinder extrusion should have 20 divisions

Thank you Rafal.

How do you make this modification once the extrusion has already been made? Did you re-create it?

Thanks
