The ships transformers were shaking themselves apart, and their "fix" was to jam a hook between a transformer and it's casing. Caused intermittent power issues; made even more catastrophic because of the retarded concept of "fly(boat) by wire" everything has these days. Power goes out, can't steer or throttle; power comes back for a few seconds, picks up on throttle and steering changes, power dies again and over corrects. Sign of full stack incompetence in both maintenance and command structure.
