    This is one of the dumber things I've seen in a while. That big blue thing is their drydock.

    Not sure exactly. They were obviously trying to get the drydock in the water, but I can't imagine they thought that 1 ton dozer would hold 100 times its weight...

    I can't figure out why they were trying to slow it's launch if that's what they were doing. Large ships are usually launched that way except sideways.

    Maybe the dozer was dirty and they were washing it?
