I'm not able to comment on how to change a submarine propellor, but I'm sure it must be a very delicate exercise.

I'm not sure how often a submarine's propellor needed changing. Perhaps L27's propellor had been damaged.

HMS Titania was known to the submarine crews, whose depot ship she was, as "Auntie". Here she is with HM Submarine L27 alongside.

The photo is from the 1928-1929 album of W.R. Fell who commanded HM Submarine L3.
