+BrownMule & Jackrabbit Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 The current USGS aerial photos used by ExpertGPS shows a nuclear submarine at N30 42.629 W81 22.949. This is the mouth of Nassau Sound (no not the Bahama's) this is near Kings Bay Georgia and Fernanadina Beach Florida in Northeast Florida. Kings Bay only houses the nukes and I have seen them going in and out of their numerous times. The JFK is stationed there. If you have ExpertGPS or access to current USGS aerials give it a try. _________________________________________________________ On the other hand, you have different fingers. . Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 That may be my #1 son's boat. I wanted to put a Cache on it but they don't have a level 50 for difficulty. Tahosa - Dweller of the Mountain Tops. Quote Link to comment

And if you look at the topo version of those coords you'll see that they are dead center in the channel too. Wouldn't expect anything less from a nuke captain.

Ratzilla Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 I was a sonar technician on USS Topeka SSN754, the GPS systems on the submarines are a little more advanced than our hand helds. Here are some other TOPO's of submarines This is a boomer being pushed to a pier in Bangor, WA 122.72812W 47.7462884N This is a Fast Attack in Dry Dock Point Loma, CA 117.2347458W 32.6878294N This is a Boomer under construction at Electric Boat in Groton, CT 72.0834573W 41.3478007N This is the first Nuclear Powered vesel USS Nautilus in Groton, CT 72.0883139W 41.3871094N Quote Link to comment

+Breaktrack Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 It's a nuke alright, but can't be my #2 son's boat, as he's on one out of Guam at this time. #1 son will soon be on a surface ship out of Hawaii once he finishes his tour in Iceland. I know, from Iceland to Hawaii.... hey, he was born on an island (Puerto Rico) while I was stationed there in the Navy so he comes by it honestly...LOL. "Trade up, trade even, or don't trade!!!"

+Team Flippin Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 It almost has to be a nuke, since the United States only has one non nuke left. And since it's coming out of Kings Bay that makes it almost certainly a trident, since they are the only subs permanently stationed there. The picture is definitely of a Trident, but in my five years on a fast attack, we ported in Kings Bay twice.. So keep looking Quote Link to comment
