## Discrepancy

(CAN) IT WAS JUST REPORTED THAT DURING AN ENGINE RUN AFTER A DAILY DESALINATION WASH, THE PROPELLER WENT IN FEATHER AND DAMAGE WAS OBSERVED TO THE TURBINE.  THE OPERATOR DECIDED TO DISASSEMBLE THE HOT SECTION FOR REVIEW AND FOUND SERIOUS DAMAGE.  A FRACTURED PT BLADE IN THE DISK SERRATION CAN BE OBSERVED.
