Sully did this version of the floating drydock some time ago.

Yes, Sully did a great Floating Drydock project way back when in conjunction with the Marianas Project I was working on. As an interesting side note, the remains of USS ABSD-4, can be seen where it rests on the bottom about 2.3 mile due east of the Lobrum Docks, Seaadler Harbor. Manus Island.
