Description

“Seagoing Navy Yard Follows the Ships”. An auxiliary floating drydocks were used by the US Navy during WWII. Floating dry docks are able to submerge underwater and to be placed under a ship in need of repair below the water line. Water is then pumped out of the floating dry dock, raising the ship out of the water. The ship becomes blocked on the deck of the floating dry dock for repair.
 
  • Without these forward repair bases, ships would have had to return to the US for repairs.
