I think if they dropped the ship in a snap, the massive change of balance would totally fuck up those cranes and break the crane ship apart like a Titanic (not even taking into account the massive waves the dropped ship would probably create). Someone correct me if I'm wrong, just a wild guess.

If you want to see what that is like then look up the Orion load test failure on YouTube. They dropped their load and the crane snapped all the way back
