While in the navy, I served aboard an aircraft carrier. During my time serving on it, the ship was in drydock for several months. It was very fascinating to see the underside of such a huge ship!

I always thought the most mysterious part of dry dock was placing the blocking for the keel to sit on. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.😀😀

Did I notice that most naval vessel sit in 8 ft. of water according to the numbers in dry dock.

[@Thomasnmi]

Deeper than that

[@davemeeks8109]

@@Thomasnmi I suppose it could be 8 yards and not 8 feet, it would make more sense.

[@Thomasnmi]

@@davemeeks8109 draft marks are in either feet or meters
If meters there will usually be a larger "M"
If in feet, sometimes the "tens" digit is smaller and easily missed.
Drafts of common cargo ships is between 8 meters and 16 meters for example

Imagine the amount of toxic chemicals we need to dump in the ocean were we go fishing for our food? What’s wrong with human.

[@baysidessi]

In the U.S. all that is removed off of the ships surface (paint, rust, etc.) Is captured in the dry doc , tested and sent to a hazmat landfill. Due to the Clean Water Act and numerous other regulations, this does not end up in the ocean.

They are called " Ships" , not "boats".

[@jerrygilley9823]

Navy ships are painted haze gray and not deck gray!

[@beer1for2break3fast4]

Or, as in Canada, seasick green. 🤣🤣

Aircraft 🛬 and ship repair and maintenance is a worthy business for countries that could be considered as a good, profitable place for conducting such tasks,technical support ,services and skills;nevertheless,work force,training requirements are subjects that have to be addressed with expertise,dexterity and capability.such great projects can only be seen as an index of economic strength and sustainable growth development 😎👍
