                    Google Earth Uncovers British Nuclear Sub Base, Missile Facility


March 09, 2009

Britain's nuclear defense headquarters could be under threat from terrorists using Google Earth.

Close-up aerial views of the top-secret naval base are on the computer program — available for free over the internet.

It even reveals the longitude and latitude of the facility in Faslane, Scotland — home to the U.K.'s Trident-armed nuclear submarine force.

And pictures clearly show two vast Vanguard Class submarines — each capable of carrying 16 nuclear missiles.

Military experts warn that would make it easy for terrorists to launch accurate mortar or rocket attacks.

One told The Sun: "A strike on our nuclear capability would cause untold devastation. Terrorists could have a field day, knowing exactly where to aim strikes to cause the maximum devastation."

As well as HM Naval Base Clyde at Faslane, the program also clearly shows the Trident Special Area near Coulport, just 10 miles away, where nuclear warheads are stored.

Any excuse to launch a false flag...

Since when do mortars use gps? THEY DON"T. Real smart, bui;d a sub base in plain view, what idiots.
"A strike on our nuclear capability would cause untold devastation" - what a crock!

Forgot to blur one out?

wow, there's a couple other smaller subs berthed a little down from the two big-uns also..

AND if you look at the lakebed, it appears to be some kind of underwater complex...!

Those are probably imaging artifacts...but who knows. The Live Search version doesn't show them.

This all ties to Operation BlackJack.

UK Nuclear HQ, Military Sites Under Terror Threat: Experts

LONDON: Top security experts have warned that Britain’s sensitive military sites, including its nuclear defence headquarters, could be under threat from terrorists using Google Earth.

Close-up aerial views of the sensitive military sites including top-secret naval base with longitude and latitude of the facility in Faslane, Scotland, home to the UK’s Trident-armed nuclear submarine force are available for free over the internet.

Two vast Vanguard Class submarines each capable of carrying 16 nuclear missiles can be clearly seen.

Fears have been expressed by military top brass that it would make it easy for terrorists to launch accurate mortar or rocket attacks on Britain’s nuclear defence HQ using Google Earth.

“A strike on our nuclear capability would cause untold devastation. Terrorists could have a field day, knowing exactly where to aim strikes to cause the maximum devastation,” an unnamed top security expert was quoted as saying by British daily.

The Internet search engine can be used to pinpoint Britain’s nuclear crisis HQ in Northwood, North London, MI6’s London offices and the SAS training facility in Hereford, the report said.

“If people are really determined to target these sites they can find these images and there is nothing we can do to stop them,” an MOD spokesman told the British tabloid.

“We should be censoring sensitive military sites, not only for the protection of the servicemen and women, but also for the protection of the country,” a military source underlined.

I remember about 7 or so years ago,two protesters climbed over a fence at Devonport Dockyard and got on board HMS Vanguard.

Guess who part owned the company known as DML at that time,I will give you a clue the chief executive was called Dick Cheney.That,s right the UK,s nuclear submarine defence programme including Trident was partly owned by KBR a subsidiary of Halliburton up until 2006.

Halliburton runs Devonport Management Ltd (DML). DML has controlled the Devonport dockyards, in Plymouth since they were privatised in 1985.It is here that the UK's Trident nuclear submarines are currently being refitted and four are decommissioned.

In November 2002, two activists from the Trident Ploughshares group broke into the military dock, managed to climb on the submarine, HMS Vanguard, that was being refitted and ring its bell. It had had its nuclear warheads removed before coming into the dock.

Yes, I knew upon looking at the map right away that it was Britain's "nuclear defence headquarters". And if it wasn't on Google NO ONE would have even known there was a base there.

I mean, in spite of me working three miles away for years; I had no clue where Wright-Patterson AFB was until Google maps! OMG!

Correction:

Oh no, wait - I had no idea until I read the ARTICLE from the MEDIA that it was "nuclear defence headquarters". And I could see; when passing Wright-Patterson from the airfields and the big ass sign, that it was; in fact an Air Force Base. Likewise, I suspect people who live in that general area in the UK know there's a base there....

They really expect us to believe that a bunch of men living in caves in some of the most inhospitable land on earth are somehow going to magically transform into super commandos and assault, directly, a major nuclear defense structure?

So, let me get this straight. Irregular troops with substandard training and equipment, who have a hard time taking out an M1 MBT are some how going to transport themselves from the midst of a war zone in Central Asia all the way across to Britian, amass the equipment and planning material to assault a facility using google earth as their basis for a training mock up?

More likely..."we do not like our secrets, which this isn't really one of them, to be so easily known therefore we will attack the source of information, the internet, instead of the real issue, our own blindingly arrogant self importance."
