Pacific Trident Day 12

HMCS Hell’s gate has suffered a serious Breakdown during the exercise as she threw out her Propeller leaving her dead in the water. She will be out from the AA Portion of the exercise until she gets a new propeller. MV Asterix will pull along side Hells gate to conduct the repairs.

I had not developed that capability. Does the repair/service ship have a crane-extension the extends under the water, so it’s claw will take the prop off the drive shaft. Are divers involved? When the new propeller is mounted, is underwater welding needed? Do they use an Allen wrench, Torx screwdriver?
Is the crane articulated in 2 or 3 places?
Sorry, I do not know about this system.
Thank you.
