Chap in our club was on her last commission. It was SOP to secure all water tight doors in unmanned compartments below the water line. before going below you needed clearance from Damage Control. On more than one occasion he opened a hatch to find the water level was the same as outside.

I remember her laid up on the slips for years before they eventually go down to completing her.
