What risk is there of breaking her in half?

Great photo and ... excellent trim ....Easy to regain the trim, start by dropping the ballast out through the sea valves ...gravity and buoyancy does the job and then pumping. Done it myself. Oh, and they need more than number 1 & 2 wings to get that sort of trim.

Wow stunnign position; must be very hard time for the cook in the kitchen and those who want to have a nice big hot soup pot. Very good shot foggy, regards, Robert08

Last idea..they'll probably use the water left in the Aftpeak tank as a means to Prime the Ballast pumps..For when they need to start pumping the forward wing tanks to return the Stern to the water.

Mhhh.
It looks like in this photo she is de-ballasing.
I suspect they must be running the Pumps off the emergency generator..Which is either air cooled engine or has it's own radiator like a truck Engine (the most common, arrangment for an emergency generator) And once they trim out the Forepeak and number 1's and 2 's Wing Tanks..It'll return to a more level trim.

A severe & intentional trim angle to attain! Plenty of stresses on her hull.
It will be fun trying to pump that ballast out, unless she has individual deepwell pumps (which I doubt), from for'ard.
An excellent image too, foggy. Well done.
Regards, Rick
