If you look to the lower left side of the tank, you can see what looks like a Half hull.

(except for the winter temps in NJ)

LOL just think of the size of the pool heater and what the taxpayers are paying for it

Earle, home of the two mile pier.

Great flounder fishing

Good minds and all that ... I thought what a kicka$$ fishing pier the old pier would make.

It used to be restricted waters...get within 1700 feet and you got a visit from the Coasties and if you mouthed off, they seized you and your boat.

Earle is huge. The bay location in Middletown (Leonardo, actually) connects with Earle's other facility in Colts Neck via a service road (Normandy Rd.)

If you're a private citizen, it's best if you don't take a wrong turn and get caught driving on Normandy Rd.

Looks like it was valuable enough to rebuild the huge piers fairly recently.

They uses to have several supply ships stationed there.

-—in the boat shop? Just trying to hop up the admiral’s yacht with a new supercharger, I expect. Forgot to read the manual? The only thing that can blow up in a boat shop is a can of really expensive paint.

Rent-a-cops are even replacing Marine security at Marine bases.

Didn’t some fighter planes from this base strafe a High School (unoccupied) a few years ago?
