A dry-dock is where boats and ships are built, and where they are placed when they go in for refit. A dry-dock allows workers to access various components affixed to the outer hull below the waterline. It also allows them to clear the hull of micro organisms which slow the ship down when underway. Special paints are applied to protect the hull until its next refit.
