Ok, I just printed this out and measured them as close as I can. The top two are the same length. The ratio of lengths of the top two subs to the bottom sub as I measured them is 0.65.

SSN = 360 feet long.
SSBN = 560 feet long

Ratio is 0.64.

That's an error of about 3.6 feet which is within the margin of error considering the resolution of these photos.

I still think this is 2 SSNs and an SSBN.

Hmmm, I'm not convinced. The both ends of the bottom one allign in a straight line. The bow shadow is the same size or a bit bigger than the other two. And the length of the bottom one is definitely not twice plus some margin longer than the top two.

I'm too enamoured of the wepons storage sites. The site in the thumbnail is there but as TexasAndroid says it is off to the right

LCAC hovercraft

You're right. The Mullard site says 5 miles SW of Cambridge which is almost exactly here.

I'm pretty sure that's a prison. Anyone know its name?

Can we get an English translation for this, please?

Lived there as a kid from '69 to '73.

That's it! I found a picture from the inside. See "More Info" link.

If you look closely you can see rings of waves radiating from the ship. It also doesn't have any wake so I think it is not moving.

These pictures are often commissioned by news agencies. Maybe there was a ship stranded or something and a news agency commissioned the pictures.

I checked lists of lightships and this doesn't seem to be one. They are much smaller anyway.

Cities along the gulf coast bid against each other and pay big bucks to have these ships sunk off their coasts. The sandy bottoms of the Gulf of Mexico along the Panhandle are not great fish breeding grounds. The sunken ships provide a breeding ground for fish that are then commercialy caught.

The track's official web site lists their address as Berkeley. See the additional info link above.

Good article on Amboy Crater.

Thanks! Here's a good shot of it:

"Irregular earthwork enclosure, alleged Roman fortification, or possibly a C11 short-lived motte and bailey castle. "

I'd list it as a building or create an archeological site category. Whatever you usually categorize a castle as.

Farmers place cattle feed in round metal fences that the cows can eat out of. The cattle scar the earth around the feed enclosures. The farmers move the enclosures around (I'm guessing to spread the manure and reduce the scarring in one place.)

Wow, an interface with the real world! The matrix just shifted. Thanks. I was going to call the Greenville post office myself today.

I think there are four sets of images merging at the hotel. look at all the different perspectives in the four areas to the NE, SE, NW and SW. The buildings are all pointing in different directions. It is neat how seamless the merges are here.

Often locally called "Lakewood Amphitheater" as it was named until 1998.

Are you sure its a military camp? I'm not saying it isn't but military camps usually have scattered U-shaped earth berms sort of like fox-holes. These look like waste oil ponds one of which was burned off at some time.

Stadio Olimpico

I used to live in Pozzuoli just to the west. It is safe out in the crater. There are tours out into the crater where there are large holes in the floor with bubbling sulfurous mud. The heat coming up is so hot that paper held out over the vats ignite.

One disturbing thing the guides do is drop a big bolder from shoulder height. The vibrations in the ground make you want to run for "solid ground."

The whole area smells stongly of sulfur at many times of the...

This palace was used by the US military after the invasion of Europe as their HQ.

I don't think that's a barge. Perhaps some type of military cargo ship.

This one was already submitted as "The Kremlin."
