Should a submersible ship / dock with its own power be tagged or not ?

1

A dock yard has a ship / dock here, https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/40.72816/29.86502 , at the left-side is a floating dock and the ship / dock is on the right-side. Both vessels, so called submersibles, are visible in edit mode. The ship sinks like a dock to support a vessel or more for transportation purposes by it self and a floating - dock needs tugs for transportation.

If it is always in the same location, I would say yes it should be mapped and tagged. If it moves around, no.

I see on the @40.7283508,29.8692944,706m/data=!3m1!1e3">current Google imagery, the one on the left has moved, so I'd personally be hesitant to map that one. Would be nice to go through older imagery and compare.

Hi, thats why I 've asked it. Every drydock (floating) is pracically a ship floating on water with or without the abaillity to move on his own power. So there 2 options change and add the Wiki pages or remove the pages from the Wiki.Since the one without power has a page in the Wiki, for now I would add a description.
