LMFAO this "clip" is a urban legend/joke that's been around for such a long time bud.. Also, US Naval vessels wouldn't have much of an issue positively identifying a lighthouse / landmass. That is not even taking into consideration the radar/sonar arrays, RLGN/GPS, seabed mapping, or old...

Anybody else play NMS? Always looking to add folks to the builders group: Current project: Jurassic World Status: maybe 25% done Working a massive multi base theme park full of dino like critters and time share cabins ;-). To do... all the detail work. Water park w/submarines, drive through...
