I thought she had already been raised? I’m I thinking of some ironclad or something??

I’ve been to see her personally, in 2003, at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center in Charleston, SC. I don’t know if they still allow groups into the lab- but if they do, and you’re into history- GO.

The delicate process of righting the sub involved rotating it between 800 and 1,000 millimeters. A team of workers adjusted the slings by 2 millimeter increments during the two days the job took.I got out the calculator. That should read "rotating it between 31 and 39 inches in increments of .08 inches."
Damn, it P.O.'s me when American journalists don't convert metric into Imperial measurements. It would be like printing a foreign dignitary's speech in his native language without bothering to translate it into English.
I suspect it has something to do with sophistication, but I'll bet the writer didn't have any idea what 800 millimeters meant either.

I thought they would use a tank and Electrolysis to clean it up!

They need to repair it, because it might be needed again pretty soon. :)
