Slow and steady and boring. Just the way they want it.

Paging Clive Cussler ...

Does it really need to be "raised" so much as "put upright," though?

Perhaps under-the-bow radar would be a good addition to the navigational equipment in cruse ships.

The ship has rotated approximately 25° with respect to the starting position. This means that the operation has gone beyond the point at which the vessel no longer needs to be pulled by the strand jacks and can now rotate under its own momentum and under the weight of the ballast water contained in the sponsons.

You can really see the staining from the part of the hull that was underwater.
