  1.  @vikkimcdonough6153  from my reading, the torpedo that hit PoW broke the "A" bracket that stabilized the free end of the shaft. The bracket being gone allowed much greater shaft runout, and the runout broke the shaft seal in the hull. I used to work for a company that made seals for chemical and petroleum pumps, and shaft runout was always a danger to the seal.
