Don't quote me on this, but IIRC the main reason to keep them in the water is to help them bear with their own weight (Very much like the whales). In the water you get corrosion and algae under the waterline, but on dry dock for a long period the hull suffers deformation because of its own weight and will never again be able to return to sea.
