What Does ARDM Stand For?

ARDM stands for Medium Auxiliary Repair Dry Dock Non Self Propelled

ARDM, or Medium Auxiliary Repair Dry Dock Non Self Propelled, refers to a specialized type of dry dock designed for the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of medium-sized vessels. Unlike self-propelled dry docks, ARDMs rely on external towing for relocation. They provide essential facilities for conducting underwater repairs, hull inspections, and equipment upgrades, ensuring the operational readiness and longevity of maritime assets. ARDMs play a crucial role in supporting naval and commercial fleets by facilitating efficient and comprehensive repair services in a controlled environment.
