    Philadelphia is not taking care of USS New Jersey

    I was flying over the city of Philadelphia and saw something that made be do a double take and I had to go back and make sure. If these images are correct they are not taking very good care of the battleship New Jersey. See for your self.



    And some of there bridges don't do a good job of letting things underneath pass.

    It's just part of their Go Green Initiative go get more federal dollars for the maintenance of the ship.

    With ORBX London landmarks installed, Belfast is afloat again. There is, however a massive tidal wave at the Embankment...

    Our BB 60 "U.S.S. ALABAMA" is not fairing any better. Take off KBFM , head out to the East/ slightly North .... she is over in our "Battleship Park".

    I'm gonna have to try Bomber_12 's trick on copying and pasting Lat. & Long. coordinates from Google maps.

    USS Intrepid in New York looks like that too - I think they have taken advice from a landscape gardener!

    Take a good look at the barrels on the 16" turrets.

    It has apparently melted in the heat that has afflicted the south for the last couple months?

    Google's 3D model is only slightly better:
