•  Info Four nuclear submarines being scrapped. After filtering the terrible noise the picture quality is quite good, and the slight sharpness problems are IMO more than made up for by the cool composition, the high educational value and of course the sensitive nature of the vessels on display - this particular scrapyard is certainly not one where you can just go to and take a few snapshots at your leisure. -- JovanCormac (talk) 16:10, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

• Which submarines are these? 75.41.110.200 17:16, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
  • I wasn't able to find any information about that. Sadly, the link provided as the original source of the photo is dead. -- JovanCormac (talk) 19:25, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
•  Suggestions and comments Maybe, a perspective correction and rotation to make the submarines axes be aligned with up-down directipon such that it would appear as if the camera was centered right above the subs? And following that perhaps a light crop on the sides to eliminate some of those uninteresting roof of buildings? Not too convinced about the photo in its present state. Highly interesting subject though. --Slaunger (talk) 23:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

 Info Based on data from this article, I've worked out that the 4 submarines most likely being scrapped on the date that this picture was taken (31/07/1993) were the Threasher Class ex-Permit (SSN-594) and ex-Pollack (SSN-603) as well as the Skipjack Class ex-Scamp (SSN-588) and the unique sub, ex-Halibut (SSN-587). There's no way of knowing which is which, but hopefully we can confirm that the above names are correct. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 09:19, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Great job! I tried to find it myself but didn't succeed. Please add the information to the image description. -- JovanCormac 09:24, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

• Also, I made some rotated versions. V1 and V2. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 09:27, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

I think V2 is better. The aspect ratio of V1 is a little extreme. I can't decide whether I like V2 or the original better, though. The tilted perspective adds a dynamical element to the picture IMO. -- JovanCormac 14:51, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
