From the June 23rd Houston Chronicle.
Rotating the Hunley, which began on the 22nd, is taking longer than expected. As of the publish date, the submarine had been rotated about 30 degrees and the job was expected to be finished by June 24th.
A laser monitoring system had to be readjusted on the 23rd when the vessel's bow began to dip, so workers had to level it out again.
Once completed and the sub is sitting upright, the entire hull will be visible for the first time and scientists hope the reason for the ship's sinking will become apparent.
Wednesday, the 22nd, the final progress was ten degrees.
