Sounds like they need to get the quality control down pat if only 1 out of 4 of the turbines achieved this goal - still a promising milestone, though.

Engineering for machines underwater is tough because the environment is extremely hostile. For a test bed device, 25% success is very good.
Upgrades and changes are mentioned, so it’s not clear that reliability is the only cause of downtime.
