Beginning in the early summer of 2001, the USS DRUM was moved from the muddy Mobile Bay waters beside the battleship USS ALABAMA and placed on dry land on a permanent fixture beside the newly constructed Aircraft Pavilion. Volkert & Associates, Inc., an engineering design firm, handled the move. This was done by digging a small canal, flooding the canal, floating the DRUM into the canal with the help of tugboats, and then draining the canal. Then she was placed upon and chained to large her current concrete cradles.

Fugly as fk..... and with all the effort to graft it 'seemlessly together' - to whack a wart of an Air Con unit on the top seems utterly odd !https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embed...

Not sure why more ships don't look like this.

That picture says a lot about the current situation in the shipping industry, I am no expert but that cannot be a good sign.6 super box ships laid up in Loch Striven
Half a ship
Fore half of Andwi, the lesser known 'Half Crown ship' from John Crown's yard in Sunderland. Due to size limitations of the yard she was launched in two halves, Fore part, 9th January 1954 and her stern section followed, 4th June 1954. The two halves were then welded together in drydock
