Sail home for repairs also must announce. Now the chinese and ruskies can stand-by their submarines for an easy picking.

So they accidentally pumped new water into the radiators n cock up the shit ?
Good dig :p

TS's (very) brief 1 liner doesn't tell us anything on what really went wrong on naval vessel. Other than attributing to "botched" job in Sg.
Engine room, crew loos, deck equipment, fire fighting, safety or just the capitan's water bed or his brass taps/wash basin :cool:
Or the refrigeration system, very hot weather?

hahaha....the LCS is a CODAG configuration....
problem is with the gear box (combining gear)....such spares can take a long time for delivery at times....

The damage to the vessel on Jan. 12 was to combining gears that allow the ship to run on a mix of diesel and gas turbine engines. It appeared to have been caused by a failure to follow maintenance procedures by not supplying lubricating oil to the combining gears during start up of the main diesel engines, the Navy said in a January memo.
