ESBs do not partially submerge. Here's a link to the US Navy's ESB program summary with a good overview of the class: https://www.navsea.navy.mil/Home/Team-Ships/PEO-Ships/Exp-Transfer-Dock-ESD-Exp-Sea-Base-ESB/

She's a strange one for sure. I wonder how it functions? Is she like one of the Dockwise vessels? Does she partially submerge ?
