Am i reading this correctly? the original crew of the two boats was transferred ashore and replaced with a new crew? why?

The boat(s) had a mechanical breakdown?

it also mentions in the story that the refueling operation was not carried out

so my assumption is that the boats traveled some distance, the crew was changed out with a new crew, it was clearly not communicated to the new crew whether or not the fueling operation had been completed and it is my belief that they carried on without sufficient fuel and their "mechanical breakdown" is the face saving way of saying "we dun runned out of gas"
