She looks top heavy.
Looks like a lot more beam, but I take your point.
More beam, but also a lot more length. (293.2 m. × 42.3 m. Max draft 8.3 m.)
The B 801 is shallower (6.5 m.) but relatively wide (121 m. x 24 m.)
It is L/B factor that counts. (0.144 vs 0.198)

VT Halter to build Accommodation barges for the US Navy:
This is a really stupid waste of money. Navy ships have far too many crewmen. They certainly don’t need most of them during shipyard overhauls. They just get in the way. It would be much cheaper to temporarily reassign most of them to training or other shipboard or shoreside roles.
It would also be much cheaper to rent them rooms on Air BnB and pump some money into the local economy.

Hopefully not also packet full of spy chips so the Chinese can know where it is at all times and disable it any time they want to??

Gazprom order more ice class offshore support vessels:
Gulf Island is suing HOS over issues with newbuilds.
Low ice class to my knowledge; nothing like the Sovcomflot beast in the picture.
Zvezda is bagging more and more orders every day, but has yet to deliver its first completed ship.
