2 days for US Navy to get oldest warship to sea - watch it happen (timelapse)

Assigned to the United States Seventh Fleet based in Yokosuka, Japan, the Blue Ridge is one of the US Navy's two command ships.

When the US Navy's ships are in port and undergoing maintenance, they are put in dry dock, a narrow basin that a ship can sail into and then have all of the water in it drained. This enables workers to access the ships underside, and enable stability during construction and upgrading operations.

Footage released by the Department of Defense shows that it takes the USS Blue Ridge two days to get out of dry dock.
