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.
The hull was pierced on the rock outcropping, and a huge chunk of rock broke off in the hull. It’s still there, and it’s the size of a cement truck.
They should, however, be able to isolate the compromised area, close all the watertight doors and hatches, and start pumping water out, one space at a time. It might not be too difficult to right it up again and float it off of there.
A picture that I saw seemed to have a captive boulder sticking out the side (that was visible). Maybe much more that was not visible.
