This would reduce costs associated to drydocking.

Response:

1) Yes, this is a weight distribution and stability concern.

2) The Navy will consider a removal/installation plan as long as it complies with the following:

Paragraph 3.2 for Propeller removal and install, Paragraph 3.10 Shipalts 0050D, Paragraph 3.11

SHIPALT 0051D, Paragraph 3.12 SHIPALT 0052D, and Paragraph 3.13 SHIPALT 0053D are to be accomplished while drydocked as listed in the SOW due to weight and stability concerns.
