@Marcboy99: Well no, not really. The warp drives are obviously not powerful enough to teleport the entire planet, and it would be nonsensical to make their warp fields that large anyway. What would happen instead is that the top part of the island (i.e. the above-water part and a bit of the rock underneath) would teleport, but not the rest of the structure it's connected to. Open exiting warp (assuming that the water is pretty deep where it exits), the bottom will no longer be connected to anything, and thus it would just sink. I guess in theory you could modify the warp fields so that the part that warps includes the entire connection to the sea floor, thus leaving you with a sort of island + base that just sits in the water with the island part above water, but that would be rather unstable (since it's only sitting on the sea floor instead of connected to it, tides could push it over).
