#1 Higgins crew members attempted to repair the dhowâs ailing engine, but was unsuccessful.
This is an outrage! The crew of a guided missle destroyer can't fix a dhows engine? Don't they have a machine shop? The crew of an Iowa would have forged 'em a new block.... LOL

#4 The engine must have been been pretty badly broken. All destroyers have at least one capable EN(engineman) on board to maintain the small boats and emergency diesel generators. I saw EN1 Parzynski rework most of a motor while we were swaying back and forth underway. He used his lap as a workbench. He had plenty of bench to work on as he was no stranger to the mess line.
