you could ask for assistance from an orange name staff member to release the sub before asking to remove the claim. zhenfai iirc (if I remember correctly) is an older player. though they haven’t been on in so long, theyre quite an oldie. to release a ship you accidentally merged into the claim, id suggest you just ask a staff member to help.

for future reference, if you sail a ship into an area with blocks that can merge, DO NOT RELEASE OR LEAVE THE SHIP. releasing the ship releases it and merges it with whatever blocks are nearby. have a buddy try to guide you, or remove blocks that are in your way if you’re sailing in such areas. or in general. sailing with a buddy is fun. especially if rum is involved. >_>
