Floating dry docks as protected forward repair bases

Could a floating dry dock solve at-sea reloading by matching the motion of the receiving warship?

Not in the open ocean, but it could form the core of a useful forward replenishment and repair site in protected waters.

The proposal works better as basing infrastructure than as an alongside transfer trick. Floating dry docks are normally positioned in bays or other sheltered areas rather than operated in the middle of the ocean. Protection from swell and weather turns them into practical maintenance assets. The idea therefore becomes a forward repair and replenishment point instead of a direct answer to VLS handling at sea.
