Kind of, but there's a little more to it. They are a very specific type of nuclear waste....RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:*Ponders* repository for nuclear waste?Probably wrong...

Re: Cool Picture Thread
Yep. Specifically, those are the reactor compartments of decommissioned US nuclear submarines. That's why they're all cylinders - those are hull sections.RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:For US Naval vessels?GrahamKennedy wrote:Kind of, but there's a little more to it.

Okay, another one. What's this and why does it look so weirdly cool?

Ram jet?
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

That's a type of propulsion not a plane.

Re: Cool Picture Thread
Nope. It's a regular jet. Judging by its appearance and the fact it has the classic buffed metal style it is from the 50's. Also USAF

Re: Cool Picture Thread
Well it look very short, like the sort of plane that is carried up by another plane, not one that launches itself. Which is a hallmark of attempted Ramjets.
What ever it is I'm betting it is launched from either a larger plane/rocket or slingshot.

It kinda looks like an American attempt to copy the Me-163 rocket fighter.
