The Indian navy is trying to salvage a huge floating dry dock which sank on Wednesday in the Andaman Islands.
The tips of two massive cranes are still visible - but the rest of the dock has settled on the sea floor at a depth of about 20 metres.
How the dock sank is still not clear, but naval officials say preliminary inquiries suggest a failure of the pumping system.
the accompanying picture is great.
