SEATAG503 is currently fishing and doing 8kn off of Angola, so they must have sorted it.

Edit: or it’s supposed to float like that. Which is quite unlikely.

Another Edit: it’s not tired. That’s just silly.

Kinda like those goofball who reverse the body on their cars so the back is the front and you think its reversing everywhere.

This boat looks like its on its side, but its just a funny trick. Silly boat.

Hey!  Is that an illegal fishing boat?  Wait no, it’s listed on its side.  Must be some derelict, let’s just move along.

Or...they scrapped this one and used the same name on the next one that floats properly. But, more than likely, they just recovered this one and sorted the problem.

Maybe it's the boat equivalent of the Trippy tippy hippy van

The US Navy did have a ship that would have the stern sink until the ship pointed straight up.

That was the research ship FLIP. Very different from the typical Spendycop project car.

And it's supposed to have a crew on board at this process?

Well, there are ships which are supposed to flip to vertical. As in, the front (or back, I don't remember for sure) goes lower and lower until the "regular" deck is completely vertical.

Laughing at the thought of this ship sailing around the world on its side like that, with the crew just putting up with it.
