There where no examples of ships being launched via flooding the drydock they were being built in?

Don´t mix a dock with a slip. We all know photos of several ships being "stored" in a single doch. However, slips are different.

A slip means a construction allowing the hull to run down into her element - either stern first or broadside first (the latter often being used for submarines and smaller vessels). Therefore you need a fixed track etc.

Dunkerque was built in drydock and 'flooded out'...a too-short drydock, at that! The stem was constructed seperatly and attached after launching.

The exploratori Campania and Basilicata were constructed on a single slip, at the same time (both keellaying and launch dates are identical).
