CHOUEST does that routinely when they blow up an engine in an AHTS.

First I heard of it was the ALEX CHOUEST.

I might disagree with “most advanced”; USCGC Mackinaw represents today’s icebreaking technology whereas USCGC Healy has more common with 1980s icebreakers…

That doesn’t really sound like the most cost effective maintenance plan…you know engines are not usually considered consumables right? /s

I can’t follow. To many damn commercials It’s annoying as hell That I loose interest in the story

They had to get her back on the job.

Went through a couple of fuel tank. First I-beams bent when they started pulling the engine. No problem, GO BIGGER! I think it was five days.
