Seal the holes and pump the water out. Itll pop right up

I thought the hull was stuck (pierced) on rock outcroppings, which is why it hasn’t sunk. Or is it lying on a rock shelf? If it’s pierced you got a dilemma — cutting off the rock would let the ship sink.

Patch and pump... that’s all you can do .. I was thinking of the Mars oil platform and the heavy lift cranes that saved it but they can “only” handle 9,000 tons each..
