The Submarine Sensor Test Platform (SSTP) facility is an RCS/antenna measurement platform consisting of a shore site and an open ocean site 900 feet offshore. Large mast structures are mounted on the platform while on shore. The SSTP is then moved by a winch to an offshore docking station for testing. Antennas on the platform can be connected to onboard measuring devices for collecting antenna pattern or impedance data.]]> Submarine Sensor Test Platform (STP)

Underground Soviet Submarine Base

@ 2008-01-23 16:06:02
An underground, formerly classified submarine base that was operational until 1993. The base was said to be virtually indestructible and designed to survive a direct atomic impact. During that period, Balaklava was one of the most secret residential areas in the Soviet Union. Almost the entire population of Balaklava at one time worked at the base; even family members could not visit the town of Balaklava without a good reason and proper identification. The base remained operational after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 until 1993 when the decommissioning process started. This process saw the removal of the warheads and low-yield torpedoes. In 1996, the last Russian submarine left the base, which is now open to the public for guided tours around the canal system, the base, and a small museum, which is now housed in the old ammunition warehouse deep inside the hillside.]]> Underground Soviet Submarine Base

US submarines are designed for speed and stealth. The Navy takes great pains to keep this technology a secret. The most critical part of that secret is the design of the propellers that drive the subs and keep them quiet. Usually, the propellers are shrouded or covered by a large tent. Bird's Eye found this one out in the open.

Not that in most Bird's Eye and Google images, this area is covered by a large tent structure.]]> Secret Propellers

The newly designed 87' Coastal Patrol Boat has several enhancements over the aging 82s, including improved mission sea keeping abilities (up to sea state 5), significantly upgraded habitability, and compliance with all current and projected environmental protection laws. It also employs an innovative stern launch and recovery system using an Aluminum hulled inboard diesel powered waterjet small boat. The vastly larger pilot house is equipped with an integrated bridge system including an electronic chart display system (ECDIS) which interfaces with the CG’s new surface search radar. SWIII computers along with a fiber optic network will also be installed, allowing the crew to access the vessel’s CD-ROM tech pubs and drawings.]]> Coastal Patrol Boats Haddock (WPB 87347) & Petrel (WPB 87350)

Used to be McClellan Air Force Base (closed 2001).

The HC-130 "Hercules" operated by Air Station Sacramento is one of the most versatile aircraft in the world today. Four powerful turboprop engines enable short field take-offs and landings, as well as a respectable cruise speed of 290 knots. The HC-130’s fuel capacity allows for covering long distances as well as extended on-scene endurance in the event of long searches or emergencies at sea. Visibility, an extremely important factor in any search, is excellent. The aircraft’s high maximum weight allowance and large cargo compartment permit handling of a wide variety of cargos. An aft ramp and door may be opened in flight, allowing aerial delivery of cargo or emergency equipment. All in all, the HC-130 is an extremely versatile and reliable aircraft, well-suited to the multiple mission needs of Coast Guard aviation.]]> HC-130 at Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento

The shape and desing of the vessle seem to match that of a USCG Buoy Tender, also considering that it seems to be heading towars the object above it, which looks like it could be a buoy. If it is a tender based on the location i would guess it is the USCG Frank Drew (WLM-557) out of the Portsmouth station.]]> USCG Buoy Tender in action

In 1914, the U.S. Naval Academy purchased the 800-acre Hammond Manor Farm, situated in Gambrills, for the construction of a sanitary dairy. This farm remained in operation until 1998. At its closure it was the last operating dairy farm in Anne Arundel County. In 1997, the Dairy Farm was determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and is being operated today by Horizon Organic Dairy, Inc.]]> US Naval Academy Dairy Farm (closed)

Patriots Point's Vietnam Naval Support Base Camp features many of the various craft used to combat the dangers of patrolling the jungle and rivers throughout the Vietnam War.

On display is an original River Patrol Boat, which was used to stop and search boat traffic in areas such as the Mekong Delta, the Rung Sat Special Zone, the Saigon River and in I Corps, in the area assigned to Task Force Clearwater, in an attempt to intercept weapons shipments.

The extraordinary aircraft collection includes two Army Huey helicopters that were used in Vietnam following initial fielding in September 1962. The Huey saw service with the 82nd Airborne Division, the 101st Airborne Division, and the 57th Medical Detachment. The Huey became the basis for the creation of the 1st Aviation Brigade in 1966.

The display also is home to a Sea Cobra attack helicopter and many of the actual weaponry that was used during the Vietnam War.]]> Vietnam Naval Support Base Camp Replica
