Depot: (Satellite)
Going back to this scene in the video, what we are watching is that they move the ship sidesway to get to the tracks that go along the dock, move down the dock to be across from the floating drydock, and then move sideways again to go onto the drydock. Note how parts of the dockside wall of the drydock are stacked on the rear of the drydock.

| 1:29 video "IngallsShipbuilding launches the third Flight III Arleigh Burke-class [guided missile] destroyer, Ted Stevens (DDG 128)." Read the full release here: https://hii.com/.../hii-ingalls-shipbuilding-launches.../ [This 1:29 video is an excellent example of the modern video style that I don't like: a bunch of short scenes that are closeup so that it is hard to figure out what is happening. Sometimes it is going sideways and sometimes it is moving towards its stern. Eventually, it rolled onto a floating drydock and is lowered into the water. Tugs then shove it to a dock for more work.] |

So why didn't they move the drydock over to where the ship is rather than roll the ship down the dock?

| Mark Hinsdale posted "All Decked Out" The former Louisville & Nashville station at Pascagoula, Mississippi appears ready for the holidays, as a CSX local makes its way back across the Pascagoula River Moveable Bridge for more industry work on the east side of the river. The power for the train is still wearing the Delaware & Hudson blue, gray and yellow livery, having just come off a lease to D&H and recently returned to CSX. Pascagoula is an interesting rail center on the Gulf of Mexico, situated on the CSX Mobile to New Orleans main line, with considerable local activity. Short Line Mississippi Export (MXE) also comes into town from the north to interchange traffic with CSX. December 16, 1991 photo by Mark Hinsdale Mark Hinsdale shared |
