 Topic: Military Radar Floats into SeattlePosted: 11 May 2011 at 2:10am |

Completely off topic...The military defense agency just floated in a 280 foot tall radar unit from the pacific. It basically floats on an oil platform...anyway, it was cool to see this up close. Lots of police boats out enforcing a perimeter. Not something you see everyday.

Is it being installed in Seattle, or just passing through?

It is at Harbor Island Todd Shipyards (now called Vigor shipyard I believe) for 3 months of maintenance/repairs. I believe it is based near Alaska but this was (possibly?) the nearest deepwater seaport that could accommodate the radar where the work could be performed.
