Blow Ballast Tanks!!!
A video of a Nuclear Sub blowing its MBTs whilst in dry dick, plus a bunch of other videos showing boats bobbing to the surface like multi-million dollar corks out of a bottle.
 BLOW BALLAST TANKS!!!

Not in dry dock (or dry dick).
 Just next to the pier during a refit period between deployments.

I believe it is all a part of the SUBSAFE program. I know my boat had to be recertified on its EMBT blow system twice a year if I remember correctly. They will also do a low pressure blow with the low pressure blower as well, less of a show but still something to see.
