Maybe the one on the google maps foto is just a model for studies.:hmmm:

It was there in October 2004, still there in March 2005, again still there in December 2007, not moved, not changed shape, nothing added, nothing removed.

It's not a sub.

It has clearly been positioned at that location for several years, but I would not say that rules out it being a sub.

From the look of it in the 2007 photograph on Google Earth it seems to be partly disassembled and it was likely decommissioned at least in 2004 when the first photo on Google Earth was taken.

Here is another view of the device. To me it looks like shaped like a midget submarine.

I have been able to find another picture of the device at a quite close range:

Even if the shape is somewhat similar to a small submarine it also looks like some kind of tank.

It is still unclear to me what it actually is, what do you think?

Good picture. :up: I still say not a sub and think you may finally believe me. :O:

I still don't know exactly what is for though, keep digging.

Yes, you might be correct.. :cool:

The lack of propellers at the back does certainly point in the non-sub direction, however it might be some kind of prototype or some partly dismantled sub device.

Any suggestions would be interesting!

I wonder if it might be a decompression chamber that was removed from a ship. The legs look like they bolted down to something.
