how about mounting rockets to it
given the size of it and how efficent gasoline is and how long it takes for a force to build up in it I don't think it would be too good unless you need to apply force in a different point along with a strong yank to dislodge something, but it sounds like this might turn into a scrap removal job if it floods (I think it depends on how good the bulkheads are, i.e. is the ship warped), if they are good it can be welded up and pumped dry
I think typically the problem with ships is when they get fucked up mechanically and the doors between compartments cannot close well, I imagine it gets expensive
but there aint no welder on the planet that won't be worth the money at the rate they are loosing it and the dollar value of the ship, they can get 5k an hour and it won't scratch that recovery budget
You know I do wonder if the ship coulda been hacked to do that. they can always blame hackers
