When the shaft separated the prop would have pulled out the back end  
of the ship maybe all the way out! Due to the drag on the prop. This  
happened to a submarine in the Med. I don't know if it was smooth  
break but.it did not pull all the way out it did rip out the shaft  
seals and there was massive flooding almost caused a loss of ship  
incident.

Frankly it sounds like a sea story to me.
