From what I've read, only the attack subs can keep up with a carrier wide open.

Agree, that's the consensus. Brother In Law and Sister In Law retired Navy. Both were on and/or part of Carrier Groups. Was lucky over the yrs they got me on multiple ships, was a real treat...

Some eye witness accounts in this report http://www.tribune242.com/news/2019/apr/02/eight-injured-dockyard-accident/

Getting the ship out of the broken fock with coffer dams in place will be a nightmare and won't happen quickly. The news blackout likely emphasises the seriousness of the situation.

Some of the cancellations don't appear to be going too well. Not sure why RCCL are deducting cancellation fees when they cancelled. This person isn't too happy. I get that the offer currently is generous don't get me wrong but maybe a few tweaks required.

Looks like on marine traffic that there is some new tug action around Oasis.

I think the tug Captains are bored and are just moving to keep the sun out of their eyes.

Looks like they have moved it out of the cofferdam.

Not really. If you switch to the marine traffic satellite view it shows the ship still centered in the drydock.

[scooby1]

It certainly looks like it's moving. Clearer to see on the link below, its moved forwards.

Agree with scooby1, looks like some movement occurred.  Otherwise website ghosts...

Of course, you realize that photo isn't real time, right?  I'm not even sure what ship that is.

[OACAggie]

It certainly is moving.

...yes, watching a ship creep forward on a website is better than getting any work done today!!

Yes it is.   It's showing 0 knots but it has definitely moved forward.

[CarnivalCruiser32]

Unless they have any functional azipods, towing would be the only option.

Let's hope it is moving and heading to Spain on its own power to get repaired.  We have a June 2nd sailing and praying they didn't find damage that will take months to repair.
