Would I do a thing like that?!
Found out a bit more about this geographical anomoly, it's the Yucca flats, site of standard munitions but mostly nuclear munitions testing...if you look at some of the craters carefully you can see the burial site at the centre of the crater where presumably the lift was installed. There's one that's not even a crater but a line in a perfect circle around the lift.
Interesting place the desert around Nevada
On a more sub related note, I've spotted subs in the following places: Pearl Harbour for some US subs (about three in drydock) and I think there's one or two RN subs in Plymouth. It's a wonderful thing this Google map
