It was what you
didn't want to be.

The basic meaning is equipment that can't fulfill its most basic use.
"Broke"- Something's wrong but it has some use.
"Broke Dick"- Totally useless and a waste of space.
In practical terms, it was the definition of whether you could go home at the end of a work day.
"Hey Chief, the COB says the trim pump is
broke.."
"OK, we'll get hot on it tomorrow".
"Hey Chief, the COB says the trim pump is
broke dick!"
"Get up to crew's mess and make sure the cooks put on some fresh coffee. We're gonna be here all night.."
