It might not be deep enough at any tide then. 😀

remember that the depth of the hull block would have to be taken into account PLUS, the depth of the lift ship beneath. I assuming you are probably talking up to 10-15 metres depth required?

@8.30m

Might not be deep enough at low tide. They may plan to float her off the ship outside the basin and then push/pull it in with tugs and from the shore.

If they close the caisson gates to the basin then tide should not be a feature

Repulse had little in the way of effective AA fire, a couple of 4 inch twin mounts. POW carried 16 5.25 DP in modern twin turrets, radar controlled but with in half an hour of the attack beginning a torpedo hit on her port outer prop shaft coused heavy internal flooding, the combination of a heavy list and loss of generating power effectivly putting all her AA armament out of action leaving both ship unprotected except for short range weapons.

Phillips went down with his ship

But don’t use Tigerfish because they aren’t very good. Use Spearfish, then the enemy ship will actually be hit and maybe even sink 😉

Gollevainen set his post in the 70’s to the early 90’s so I suggested tigerfish as that was the RN guided torp of the era. Could always use the mark 8!

That’s not at all the case, only for conventional subs. A modern, quiet, SSN can chase down a CVN and get well within torpedo range without being detected in open sea.[/QUOTE]

My point exactly

Stick a couple of tigerfish torpedo’s into it, courtesy of your SSN 🙂

Thanks 90inFIRST.

It can submerge to 8m over the front end of the barge deck.

So to answer my own question, yes it can ballast itself with half the North sea, to allow the block to float off.

Its harder than you think, as the block is rolled on the barges weight goes up so they have to pump water out to keep the barges hight level with the dockside as theblock moves on, hence the large number of different pumps on AMT Trader.

You can see water being pumped out in this image

I take it the Barge is one of the semi-submersible efforts, that take in half the North Sea as Ballast to lower the platform deck (Sorry I’m not very Nautical with terminology) into the water and allow the section to float off ?

AMT are a barge towing company who own @ nine barges and rent tugs as required to move them and their loads around. The PDF above has all the details about the barge AMT Trader
