00:00Millions of gallons of seawater must be rapidly evacuated from the dry dock to service the
00:04carrier. How do massive drainage systems lift 50 million gallons of seawater in just four hours?
00:10Intuition suggests a single massive impeller works best, but extreme pressure differentials
00:16instantly induce destructive cavitation. Hydraulic balancing drums counteract axial
00:21thrust loads, protecting high-capacity impellers from catastrophic mechanical failure.
