I agree. One useful use I foresee with an hour-meter is calculating miles per operating hour. For example, vehicle owners’ manuals often distinguish between normal use and heavy use. “Normal” and “heavy” are qualitative of course.

Umm. Why not watch Weird Science, the movie WITH a 928?

I’m first-hand familiar performing most of what is shown in every photo except the missile sub (i think) interior and the in-pool training. Installing/removing the railing, Raytheon radar, and windscreen is a pain but nothing close to removing trash in port via the tower. Worked 70hrs minimum each week with 110

The hard part is forming a human chain vertically in a very dark cylinder while standing on either/both a cold steel vertical ladder and a three inch wide hatch seal with people above and below you passing steel poles, cables, and an awkward three-foot wide plexiglas windscreen - AND the tools to install/remove them.
