Looks like a nightmare to me. Silent Hill Offshore Edition, so to speak.

Why would being on one be more unbearable than being on a submarine? The living conditions seem to be pretty comparable.

Add zombie nurses and give them all rusty six-shooters.

Can you image being assigned to one of those forts for six weeks at a time?

I never knew this stuff existed. Awesome read.

In the picture gallery, can anyone spot the error in the captioning?

Would that be the reference to the forts mounting "3.5 artillery guns", while in fact they would be mounting QF 3.7" guns?
