I did some work at the shipyard several years ago. Was in the drydock working under the Constellation. Really weird to be walking under this huge ship sitting on thousands of wooden beams. (”Wood beams!!?? That’s it? Twenty-first century with the most technologically advanced military? And I have to work under it supported by wood beams!!??”)

You might be surprised to hear that when these things are on active duty, they use WATER to support them! Seems impossible.
