There are three major doubts raised by the outside world, but there are rumors of severe wear and tear, and the delivery of the Taiyushan ship is less than a year old
According to reports, it is reported that the Yushan ship recently entered the Taiwan ship terminal for maintenance in accordance with the contract. However, what puzzled the logistics maintenance personnel of the Taiwan Navy was that the bearing sleeve of the Yushan ship's main shaft was severely worn. Although the bearing sleeve was classified as a consumable item, the bearing sleeves of various types of military and official ships were set to be replaced after 5 years or 20000 hours, and the Yushan ship experienced severe bearing sleeve wear in the past year of delivery.
The report stated that the outside world questioned whether this was caused by design issues, construction flaws, or improper operation? The Taiwan Shipbuilding Corporation, which is responsible for construction, emphasized that it has conducted an investigation into the media coverage content, and the Taiwan Navy has also understood these three major directions.
According to a report on the website of Taiwan's "Daily News" on September 11th, as the Yushan ship has only been delivered for nearly a year, the Taiwanese Navy is puzzled that the new ship has never experienced similar problems. If the cause of the bearing sleeve wear is not determined, the bearing sleeve will still need to be replaced every year or two after the warranty period, which will inevitably increase the logistics and maintenance costs of the Yushan ship.
