Google-earth sightings....

You have to go to the top of your screen and using the little pushpin create a placemark.  You will have a screen open up with the Latitude and Longitude show up.  You can cut and past the two together to create something like this for the CWM.  45°25'1.97"N  75°43'1.31"W
 
13°34'22.23"N144°55'21.52"E        Check this one out its an US airforce base in Guam don't  think its been done yet . I thought it was interesting to look at  cheers
 
Interestingly, some NATO installations are censored.  I hadn't noticed this until recently:

JFC Brunssum 50°56'14.89"N    5°58'43.09"E

NATO E-3A Force Geilenkirchen 50°57'27.00"N    6° 2'39.59"E

It seems to be a Dutch thing, although Geilenkirchen is included.  Other sites aren't censored.
 
Scapa Flow is also censored  58°54'47.18"N  3° 3'50.93"W

And the birthing of a carrier

36°59'32.80"N  76°26'40.37"W

As well as three carriers, a couple LHDs, as well as a bunch of other ships.   
36°57'26.67"N  76°19'44.03"W

The last 2 for me are not censored

Naaa, it's just low-rez.  AFAIK, the British haven't based anything there since the war.
 
umm, yeah, I'm a moron.  For some reason I was mixing up Scapa with Faslane... don't ask, long week!

anyway, Faslane appears to be somewhat censored (I'm assuming so since its an interesting cut between the hi-res and low-res here
56° 3'55.75"N  4°49'3.65"W

As for the others, no they're not censored, didn't mean to imply that they were.

yeah, i'm a moron :)

It is a ship passing under the bridge on a 'cut and paste' series of several photos from different angles.

Try this Ammo Compound.......  41°10'52.46"N 28°35'27.87"E   with an airfield to the East.

Yes.
 
Those are the Five, Ten, Fifteen, and Twenty Mile Circles along which numerous and various recording instruments were set up to monitor the world's largest 'intentional' non-nuclear explosion in the center of DRES (Suffield).  Now we will have to kill you.   ;D
 
Oh like I'm afraid of this death thing you offer Pffft. Thats kinda cool if it's true though
 
psstt, HoM...you DO know you're posting in the NAVY forum right?  Hmmm, almost makes you want to kill yourself now, eh?  ;D
