The Navys Super Secret Stash of Keel Blocks and How You Paint Under Them

All the things I never knew about dry docking a big ship and how to paint the bottom of it, and the issues of the areas that were not able to be repainted, because the ship was resting on the blocks...

Refloat it , and move it forward a meter or two and then set it back down again...

Then paint the unpainted bits...

Amazing.

And yes, I shit you not, that I had "not joined the dots" and figured out the basic idea of refloating the ship and moving it forward a bit and then setting it back down on the blocks - I had only ever gotten as far as, "How do they repaint the bits of ship, that are resting on the blocks?"

You know.... Interstellar levels of cleverness - is a problem, perhaps my mind is too highly trained.
