probably, have to change the oil in the bearing sumps, clean the coffee grounds away from the screws. Warm up the Main Engine lube oil, engage the jacking gear, should be able to rotate the shaft over once every 5 minutes. JMO

yea, as a former MM3 aboard the USS Guam LPH-9, I would think one of the shaft bearings is wiped, or misaligned. the shaft coupling would have never left production if it had issues.
