thought the same. normally the diesels where very reliable...but as to the limited space inside the sub a greater repairs where not possible and the boat had to return in such a case.

mostly dc´s had their effect on the diesels...often the hard hits and the shaking lead to damages of the diesel sockets. and due to the vibrations of running diesels this lead to damages inside the diesels.
