Muskö - Underground Naval Base

[McCarthy]

Musko is one of the largest underground military facilities in Sweden.
It´s a navalbase mainly built under a mountain of granite.
It used to be top secret but after the collapse of the Soviet Union the secrecy is a little bit looser and more and more is revealed of this underground community.

Me likey. Can we get a few lads to start on the cliffs of moher? We should have it complete by the time my 60 ship navy plan comes to fruition

It was hardly a secret.

I cant beleive the Ruskies were watching all them ships from there satalites and didnt realise what was happening when they went into the caves. They are hardly that thick, or are they?

[Bam Bam]

there was very little they could do, the base is built under a mountain of granite. A nuke probably couldn't touch it.

[GoneToTheCanner]

Hi all
Probably used for all those Bond movies, when the bad guy has a secret base with a nuclear missile in a silo or a stolen submarine. Still, cool place. Dont you just love the Hi-Nellies with the baskets for getting around?

That chain block and sling look awful dodgy for removing such a big prop in the picture 4th from the bottom.

[Goldie fish]

Nah. They are pulling the shaft. U need the block to take the weight of the prop off the bearings so it'll slide out freely.

[ZULU]

Just realised it. Thought the yellow sling was going up ("it was at a funny angle") Got to get some more sleep.

Fair decent workshop in there, bet that place is fairly self sufficint, some pretty large lathes and are they overhead cranes eswell, some place to work i'd say.
