I guess y'all didn't get the text email that explained
the .ppt slideshow...  When the SRB hits the water it
fills up with water.  I'll let Scott Bonis fill you in
on Solid Fuel propulsion and why it fills up with
water, if he wants...  So the SRB fills up and floats
vertical with the exhaust nozzle 110 feet down.  The
plug has a compressed air line in it.  The insert the
buttplug and pump air in, which forces the water out,
like a ballast tank on a submarine.  Then the SRB
fills with air and floats horizontaly on the surface. 
Now they can tow it in and not need a 115 foot deep
channel in the Banana River/ICW or whatever that body
of water is called down there.
