So, the "US Engineers Genius Idea to Save Massive $800 Million Icebreaker From Scrap" was to..... replace the damaged engine? Yes. yes. Only a genius could think of such a brilliant concept. The engine is damaged. Let's replace it. GENIUS!!!! Whoever writes these video descriptions is the opposite of a genius.

The genius is on its modular design: if engine fails, replace it than rebuild it on board. How can anyone fit a crankshaft inside? There are many repairs that are impossible.

@@larrywalsh9939 I would hope that BY DESIGN, ships would be built with the intent that sections of the deck, and/or hull would be removable for the service of large, critical components. It looked like the ice breaker WAS designed with such serviceability in mind. As nice as the U.S. ice breaker is, the Russian's ice breakers are larger and nuclear powered. Given how remote and inhospitable the Arctic is, nuclear power seems like a tremendous advantage. It also offers more horsepower, providing more thrust to punch over/through thick ice.

This is second time I've seen engine replaced this way. Russia had to replace a nuclear reactor on one of it's icebreakers. They also cut large hole in the hulls and slid out old then slid in the new. Re-welding quality has to be best of the best. These hulls have to withstand punishing blows from ice as they operate in the Arctic.

This allows for much more welding material to build up and form joints as strong as original plates. When they cut out sections, they just have to be careful when re-welding. Bevels, welds, and lots of inspection to ensure hull is as strong as before.
