Check out the United States Coast Guard Barque EAGLE being re-floated in dry-dock. "Barque EAGLE returned to the Yard on August 18, 2017 to begin the fourth and final phase of a four-year Service Life Extension Project under the Coast Guard's In-Service Vessel Sustainment Program. The project provided an additional decade of service life for the 81-year-old historic training vessel, allowing EAGLE to train the future Officers of the Coast Guard for years to come. EAGLE's fourth phase involved mechanical, electrical and structural repairs and inspections while dry-docked in the OAKRIDGE, an ex-Navy floating dry dock that was previously used to maintain nuclear submarines. EAGLE departed the OAKRIDGE on February 27, 2018 and America's Tall Ship began preparations to return to the Coast Guard Academy for its summer ports of call."
