I don't know if the two on the end moved because they are amphibious
and floated or because they are less protected than the tanks by the
USS Alabama. But remember, the USS AL moved enough to break the
concrete ramp going to it and left it listing a few degrees. It looked
to me that they had got it settled back down but I don't know if it is
perfectly level yet. I was in a hurry and only stayed for a few
minutes.
