Floating Dry Dock

Description:

A floating dry dock, also known as a graving dock, is a large structure used for the dry docking of ships, vessels, and boats. It is essentially a giant basin-like enclosure that can be filled with water or drained, allowing ships to be lifted out of the water for various purposes such as repairs, cleaning, or maintenance.

Examples:

- The floating dry dock was filled with water, and the ship was carefully maneuvered inside for hull repairs.

- The naval base has one of the largest floating dry docks in the country, capable of lifting even the biggest combat vessels.

- The dock workers used cranes and pulleys to lift the ship out of the water and onto the floating dry dock.
