Alfa Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Ok here are a few naval and air bases for you.. Norfolk naval base, Virginia, USA Homeport of the USN Atlantic Fleet - its the main US navalbase and the largest in the world. The "inventory list" counts 5 aircraft carriers, 8 amphibious assault ships, 6 Ticonderoga-class cruisers, some 22 Burke-class destroyers and 5 OHP class frigates. Severomorsk naval base, Russia The main Russian navalbase and homeport to the Russian Northern Fleet. The inventory currently counts: one aircraft carrier(not moored here though - see link below), one Kirov-class heavy cruiser, one Slava-class cruiser, two Sovremenny class destroyers, 4 Udaloy class ASW destroyers, one Ivan Rogov class landing ship and several Repoucha class landing ships. Port of Murmansk, Russia This is not a navalbase, but as Severomorsk doesn't have a pier large enough to accomodate the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier("Heavy Aviation Cruiser"), the ship is moored here. Severomorsk 3 airbase, Russia One of 3 airbases(as the name suggests) around Severomorsk - the "Severomorsk 3" is the home base for the 279 KIAP(Shipborne Fighter Air Regiment), which forms the fighter airwing of the Admiral Kuznetsov. All Su-33s in service are operated by this unit. Vladivostok naval base, Russia Homeport of the Russian Pacific Fleet. Portsmouth naval base, UK The main British navalbase and homeport to many different kinds of vessels - including the Invincible class aircraft carriers("through-deck cruisers) - one of which is visible in the satellite image. Korsoer naval base, Denmark Homeport of several "Flyvefisken class" patrol vessels, three "Niels Juhl class" corvettes and two new "Absalon class" flexible support ships - the second of which(L17 "Esbern Snare") can be seen in the satellite image.

Airway Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Hello :) What are you listing them for? There's not even a kind of sorting I think. At least I don't see any. Staying confused, Airway
Alfa Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 They are google-map links Airway :) The idea with this thread is to share links to locations you have found on the map. JJ
Alfa Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) More.. Rota naval base, Spain The base is located just north of Cadiz in southern Spain and is homeport to the Spanish navy's single aircraft carrier "Principe de Asturias"(# R11), several Santa Maria-class frigates(based on US OHP class design) and two(L51 and L52) Galicia class LPDs. The base also has a large airfield. Rota naval airfield close-up An AV-8B Harrier II of the "Principe de Asturia"'s airwing? Taranto naval base, Italy Main Italian naval base and homeport to Italy's two aircraft carriers - one of which(the # 551 "Guiseppe Garibaldi") can be seen in the satellite image. The second carrier is the brand new "Cavour"(# 550), which is expected to enter full operational service this year after final outfitting at Muggiano....see link below.

jpm1 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Posted May 26, 2009 Batajnica Airbase near Belgrade Outdated shots before the second runway was repaired, craters still visible. Beautiful base Diego Garcia (american airbase island property UK) at the south we can see the satellite tracking station . there's very likely an echelon station on the island too . Little story of the island : french until 1814 the island become british following the defeat at the napoleonian wars . in 1971 the inhabitants the "chagossiens" (french colonists-african slaves descendants) were expulsed by the british to maintain the island security . almost all of them being illiterate they finished in african shantytowns . they bring an action against the UK , in 2000 they won the case they were recognised as british citizens and as well as getting money they had the right to go back to their island (which hasn't been realised yet) Brest (naval base) Andersen (airbase) Guam (naval base) Djibouti (airbase) SU-25 missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
