The Torsk was pulled to dry dock about 8 years ago. The Navy dives the Torsk once a year while berthed in the harbor. Overall safety check performed. She was pulled to dry dock to have several large holes repaired. At that time she would list to starboard. I believe a million was spent. This included use of the dry dock and tug. I would imagine keeping the sub out of the water would give it a bit longer life of the metals before replacement is necessary.
