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!
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.
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.😀😀
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 😎👍
@@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
