it displaces water
The force that helps a ship float is the buoyant force. The buoyant force is exerted by a fluid upwards that opposes the weight of the object immersed.
Just like any other object, a ship will float if it has less density than the liquid on which it is supposed to float. Density = mass / volume; in the case of a ship, that includes the volume of the ship plus any air trapped inside.

Yes. Many drydocks and salvage ships are made of concrete.
because is concrete and it frikin hardens dumb aasss
it displaces water
Yes- because they are not a solid block of concrete- they are hollow with a large air space. The weight of the water displaced is greater than the weight of the hollow concrete hull, and it will float.

no matter how big the concrete slab is, it will never float

yes a boat made of concrete is possible to float if it displaces water that weight more than its own weight.
Yes
Yes
Wooden blocks will (usually) float. Concrete blocks sink.
