Significant Damage to the shaft and propeller and superficial damage to the rudder.
Perhaps those on here more qualified than me, could comment on whether this could have been caused by a failure to grease the shaft, or was more likely caused by striking a submerged object.

Just as well we had a spare available to send Stateside
