“Floating dry docks are designed to sink. Once the scuttle valves are closed it can likely be refloated”

Things really fell apart on them...the carrier has a 5-foot gash near the water line, and the deck has apparently also been pierced. That isn’t going to just buff out.

However, I must admit that I am very concerned that we’re falling behind the Russians...they now proved to the entire world that they have Transformers. Their carrier-containing dry dock transformed into a submarine in just a couple of minutes!!!
