I think it's partially refloated, which, as pointed out in another thread, means it's also partially stuck, and until it's completely unstuck, the canal is still blocked. It's progress, but it's not out of the woods yet.

Long lever action helping with the pivot but not with the slide.

That bulbous bow is going to be a huge problem and yes, assuming they've gotten the plant back online, made the job of freeing the stern *substantially* easier.

Yeah "one smooth motion" makes me remember almost dropping windshields in the wrong spot on 14 linear feet of urethane adhesive and accidentally getting bearings I was trying to thermal shrink fit onto shafts infinitesimally sideways at just the wrong moment, hearing the creak of them equalizing temp and realizing they are too far on for my puller and not far enough on to fit in the press and now I'm hosed. (This is why I bought a hydraulic press. My baby arbor press and heat/cold tricks left me high and dry one time too many... Much like that ship actually.)

All joking aside, I've always wondered how the hell the track drives go through the pivoting base without everything getting crossed up, or the torque that's supposed to run the tracks spinning the turret instead. I guess now is when I go read about it.StormDrain posted:Goddamn I ain't never seen a windshield with bearings before.

Two opposed, stepped, conical pyramids made up of nested drive shafts, connected with drive chains, geared so the top one turns at the right speed to stand still relative to the bottom one when you rotate the top section. ... could that be made to work? I mean, it shouldn't, but could you?

Yeah, I googled the model number and I guess it fits a bunch of euro tanks. I guess that makes sense but... Um... Holy gently caress that's complicated. How does the red shaft get put into the hollow blue shaft? It's larger on both ends and I don't see any joints shown in the cross section.
