    And forward of that just behind the bow is the bow thruster which was only fitted to two of the four P20 class.Its the circular 'hole' just behind the bulbous bow.

        You should see some of the rest of the hardware around the dock! The crane on the north side of the dock had to be removed last year as it was condemed.

              Other views of the removal of the north crane. An other part of our industrial architectural heritage gone.

                  The circular ballast counterweights are still lying in the corner of the yard.

                    You're right, they are. Cork metals have no use for cement.

                        hi there
                        It looks really Heath Robinson there, all wooden stays and knotty old rope.Like something a scrapyard would come up with. Bet Korean or Japanese docks have better gear for drydocking...
                        regards

                            I think you'll find that even with some of the most expensive ships in quality shipyards, that wooden "shores" and knotty old rope and timber blocks are perfectly acceptable to use.

                            We dont want to damage the ship or its paint work.

                              The wooden stays are still used in all dockyards that have ships resting on a single keel block. It prevents docking stress.

                              This is a photo from Northrop Grummans yard.

                              The Department of Defense is America's largest government agency. With our military tracing its roots back to pre-Revolutionary times, the department has grown and evolved with our nation.

                              Shiplifts are more popular in modern dockyards.

                                Is she sitting directly on the dock floor or is the bulbous bow lower than the keel?
