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
It's a sea water cooled coupling, so there's no requirement for it to be greased. What with all the sea water surrounding the ship.
