Discoverer Enterprise to be drydocked in Alabama for a deep cleaning



The Enterprise played a key role during the oil spill disaster last summer, however floating in the oil-saturated ocean above the Macondo Well left her ballast tanks and hull saturated with crude oil.  For the past 4 months, cleaning teams have been working to clean up all this mess, but the Unified Area Command has decided enough is enough, and she’s heading to the yard in Mobile for a deep cleaning.
