Define a "Flooded Boiler"

Specifically, can a laid up boiler be called "flooded" if it's laid up "wet"-- full of water? Probably a trivial question, I know. Thanks in advance!

If it is a steam boiler and it is full, it is flooded. Doesn't matter if it was flooded intentionally as a matter of protecting it or if some feed failure or just ignorance caused it. Personally, I would suggest any water level above what you consider the normal water line to be is flooded. It's a matter of degree.2

My question was simply, "Do you refer to a laid-up boiler that is not laid-up dry, as 'wet', or 'flooded'". I think I already knew the answer, but wanted opinions.0
