DOUBLE-U-TEE-EFF?!?

[notabook]

That's some funny shit right there. I thought it was a casino or something of sorts till I read you said it was in china wtf.

[k0nr4d]

well zoom out, that mass of water to the left is another lake.
I can see how they would get it into that bigger lake from the ocean but uhhh... yeah...

found an article:

Liu initiated at the navy's Shanghai Research Institute a feasibility study on the design and construction of an aircraft carrier. Models were constructed and tested in the institute's six-hundred-meter (656-yard) pool and at Tai Lake in Jiangsu Province.

Weird shit.

[madawgz]

thats pretty strange lol

[Matt 26z]

Notice how all around there the map is low res except for that one spot. Looks like Google wants everyone to see the potentially sensitive areas of China.

[BrettJ]

zoom in as much as you can and then scroll around the pic ... thre is actually quite a few cool things (building designs, road ways, shrubs/garden layout ... in the pic

That's a pretty nice looking location. I wonder what an acre of land goes for.

[Big_D]

wow, i have no idea why they would do that except for possible training

[reynold]

That's quite fascinating. The beauty of Google search maps.

When you zoom out one step, you realize (a) it is very close to a sea or ocean, and (b) there is a canal that comes right to the end of that little holding area. Getting it there was no issue.

More impressive for me is this video:

747 retired by being landing on a runway it can never take off from, will be used as a museum or something... amazing to see the plane land on a runway that isn't barely as wide as it's wheels.

[NinjaSteve]

[Crazy Carlos]

damn that is crazy. ok is connected to the sea but how the hell can you navigate some thing that big through a cannal that small. those people are crazy. but then again it doesn't really show when you see it between all the grey roads.

after a bit of sleuthing, I found this:

"It is, in fact, a Nimitz class replica. This is part of the Orient Green Boat theme park. The carrier is located in what is known as the "military education center" section of the park.
