What are the names of the two semi-submersibles that are 'stacked' in the shipyard?

This video of the actual move was posted on 8/22/24 & took place in daylight hours.

Will there be any internal painting, or is everything topside?

What makes you think there was no video? ;) There was a cruise ship in that day so I was on duty as volunteer cam op. Someone alerted me that the Battleship was moving. You can see I kept panning to the pier in front of Harbor House looking for spectators but no one was there. It truly was a surprise move!
There is a second video of the first pilot debarking after they docked (there were two pilots).

Is she going to sail out by her own propulsion after this magnificent restoration effort?
