She is back in the water and has been for a while. My guess is they still have more work to do given how long she sat idle. It wouldn't make sense to rush her into service, at this point, given the effects of covid 19.... Rather they can take some time and get her properly shaken down.... so that when she returns to service she is dependable, and ready to move forward for several years to come.....
