The Australian Navy used to do that. I toured Cockatoo Isl. Naval Base Sydney shortly before it closed, a sub was under refit, the diesel(s) had been rebuilt, I was told the engines would be run a while after recommissioning, and pulled down again to check all was perfect.
Sounded like a circular never ending process to me, but with subs I suppose you can`t be too careful.
Now,with trawlers,....
