Yep! A boat is anything that can be placed on a ship. With this definition, many of the smaller ships such as destroyers and fast frigates would be boats also in that these would fit within a floating dry dock. Although most floating dry docks are towed to the intended use location having no propulsion of their own, these are still referred to as ships. I do not know for sure if the larger Trident class submarine due to its enormous displacement and overall size will still fit in such a mobile dock. If these do not, these then are the first submarines aside from the Russian Typhoon class to be actual ships. David Bartsch The New Busy is not the old busy. Search, chat and e-mail from your inbox.
