#2 Some more information: https://www.battleshipnewjersey.org/drydock/
The USS New Jersey hasn't been dry docked in about 30 years so they'll clean her hull, re-paint the hull and probably large portions exposed to the weather and repair leaks if any exist.

USS Texas is just about with her dry dock visit where she spent more then 18 months being repaired and re-painted.
