Inside the walls at Sing Sing
In my neighborhood there’s this highway to nowhere. It’s actually the freeway built for the movie Matrix Reloaded. There’s not much there now, except once a month it turns into a huge antiques fair.
Carrier training deck? in Hawaii (Kaneohe Marine Base)
Bombs Away in England. Found this on an older SDMB thread.
Pearl Harbor has a mothball fleet as well. Right now, there’s an aircraft carrier (but not in Google Maps/Earth yet).
Right now, Pearl Harbor has this gigantic Sea-Based X-band Radar. This colossal thing is over 28 stories tall and is in town for a paintjob.
No, the one that Survey1215 linked to in post #52. It’s the Philadelphia Naval Shipyards and you have to scroll around to find the dreadnaught. I searched google and found that the New Jersey had been towed from Bremerton to Philadelphia to enter the naval reserve fleet before she was designated as a museum and moved again to Camden. So I was wondering if the Google map just happened to catch here there in Philly.
Cool! He I search a few months ago, Pearl Harbor hadn’t been photographed in HiDef. Looks like they finally got around to it.
Mighty Mo and the Arizona Memorial in one shot:
UncleRojelio, if the Philadelphia ship that you mean is the one about 1300m northwest of the center of Survey1215’s image, on the other side of the shipyard, that’s the heavy cruiser USS Des Moines.
The USS New Jersey is visible a few miles upriver in Camden, NJ, but there’s a clear photo stitch between the two locations. It would have been interesting indeed to get a “double image” of it from two different flyovers; sort of a latter-day Philadelphia Experiment!
So much for my ship recognition skills. Thanks for the info! Now I’ll have to research heavy cruisers this afternoon instead of getting any actual work done.
A Boomer
Another ghost airplane.
Whatever this feature is, it’s kind of pretty.
I just noticed that if you scroll south from here, there’s an area where the photos are out of alignment by over 500 ft. I don’t think I’ve seen such a bad error before…
Try going north instead!
This, sir, is the USS Wisconsin at its berth in Norfolk Virginia. The building next to it is called Nauticus. Here’s a linky-poo for more info.
Let’s see if anyone can guess what sort of orchards these are.
Pecans?
I know the world’s largest pecan orchards are in NM.
Yes, and here are the USS Alabama and the USS Massachusetts.
(the U-505 at the Museum of Science and Industry, before it was moved indoors.)
While we’re on a submarine kick here is The USS Cod, a highly decorated WWII sub.
