Exactly. LBNSY had a beautiful dry dock run by a well trained crew.

And all the other ones before that. Meanwhile, China cranks out ships like no tomorrow.

As a 20 year shipyard safety manager, let me offer a little tip; if you are a shipyard, and you have a vacant drydock, you are losing an incredible amount of money and probably will not be in business very long. Drydocks of that size cost butt loads of money to maintain in general, and even more to meet Navy standards which they must to drydock Navy ships.

The service would prefer to fix the rudder underwater with the understanding that the replacement repair could take up to two to three weeks, USNI News previously reported.
Complications could arise if the big deck needs to go into dry dock.
Could arise.................................

The navy just needs a few more DIE Admirals to fix all their problems.

For our LANTSHIPRON NINE LSTs during the Vietnam war, the Japanese yard workers were miracle workers. After a Riverine Navy deployment, we looked forward to their shops attacking a pile of work orders. Those working in San Diego were called yard birds.
