Some time back I recall reading a fairly truthful sounding account of the US Navy finding massive undersea caves which extended from the west coast of the continental US all the way to near Colorado.
I’m sure there are undersea bases.
About ten years ago a buddy and I explored the abandoned Skaggs Island Naval base off Hwy 37 in Sonoma County, CA. We actually found an odd pressure door which seemed to lead underground. It was welded shut and looked like it hadn’t been opened in a very long time. It was a huge vault like door - very incongruous.
So I did some research and found rumors and factoids which appeared to point to the idea that the base had had a huge undersea pen for nuclear submarines. Apparently when the base was decommissioned, they flooded the whole place and locked it down.
I absolutely believe there are undersea bases and caves and such. I can’t imagine the US govt not taking advantage of the vast oceans.
You can just walk in or did you hop fences and stuff?
Ya pretty much. We drove out there in an old sports car I had and even though the govt had carved a sharp ditch in the road (like a reverse speed bump) we were able to get on base. There was a big chain link fence gate, but it wasn’t locked (or fastened closed in any way). There were no other barriers and we drove around the entire base. It was a pretty surreal experience. Even went to the old “elephant cage” antenna array (one of only three in the world, used for communicating with submarines - allegedly under water).
Wouldn't that mean groundwater contaminated by ocean saltwater?
I got the impression the caves were way deep. Maybe? Good point? I dunno. Just seemed plausible.
