CPO John Whitley I would be afraid to say, but if this the second vessel to smoke drive gears then I would have the Chinese manufacturers issue a recall...lowest bidder syndrome, right?

MCPO Roger Collins I suspect the Chinese used plastic gears made with child labor which would explain why their bid came in so low...

CPO Andy Carrillo, MS - No sweat, fortunately our credit card has a new limit, so we will just fix or repair daily (FORD) until it is resolved to the MIC's coffers are replenished.

Yes, Chinese after-market gears are as good as OEM, so we should be up and sailing in a couple of years. Singapore isn't that bad except for gum chewers...

Heeeey, I hadn't thought of that angle...I love the smell of roasted gears in the morning...smells like, 'liberty'!

As a former snipe, if they make it Olongapo, I may volunteer to help for free. Now if I could only remember why I want to go there.
