The Branch Davidians are a religious sect who originated from a schism in 1955 from the Davidian Seventh Day Adventists, themselves former members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church who were excommunicated during the 1930s. In 1981, Vernon Wayne Howell (later renamed David Koresh) joined the group as a regular member. In 1990, Howell changed his name to David Koresh, invoking the biblical Kings David and Cyrus. Koresh centered his teachings on the Seven Seals and his ability as the "Lamb" to...

I agree with Anonymous, I think it looks very much like missile being serviced. There a lot of stuff going on at that location, look at the Google Map. Several dry docks and other operations that are clearly not involved in demolition. But also, it's a Trident sub, and I don't think any (if at all) have been recently decommissioned.

The Live picture was taken during the Rose Festival, where there is a nice parade with floats covered with flowers, and a "fun park" on the waterfront. They line Waterfront Park with amusement rides, and the mass of people grind the beautiful lawn into mud. It takes exactly one year for the lawn to recover. Then they do it again.
