Foxtrot class submarine had 3 shafts with 3 main electric motors (and 3 diesels). Breaking one shaft would not stop the sub. It would have made more sense to spill a few battery cells and they need cables from the u-boat to jump the dead cells. That would have been accurate, as batteries were volatile.They said ballast tanks were ruptured. (does not really make any sense, as these tanks are already fixed wide open at the bottom) If so, sub could have not been raised with propulsion only. If ballasts were in fact OK, then no need for the engines to surface, just blow the ballast by compressed air. One man is enough to open the blow valves for the main ballasts.
