Probably will be one heck of a salvage challenge, applying external power to free it will do a lot more damage.
Better be big pumps on board.

You couldn't use built in eductors off firemain. That water is too shallow. You go using onboard pumps and you get a lt of sea weed and trash sucked up in the strainers real fast. They'd clog the pumps fast creating a bigger headache. Portables could do the trick. It's going to have to be raised up & floated off the reef likely with flotation devices secured to the ship. Pulling it will tear the hull out.
