Dry-Docking

Some of our members might find this video of interest - a time-lapse video of the USS Bataan (LHD-5) going into drydock for mid-life maintenance. The link is here.

Nice video, thanks for sharing. Looks like a real dance - and a lot of effort. Funny music, though...

Thanks. The time lapse makes it look funny but the process is very complex to bring such a large vessel into a floating drydock stern first. The drydocking of a ship that is half floating drydock is somewhat ironic too.
