In using Google Earth to look at the Dalien Shipyards and other places in Red China, I was able to find these pictures. Given time, one could find a lot more regarding PLAN bases and PLAAF bases, or any other fixed locations.
Dalien Naval Shipyard Pictures (Varyag Aircraft Carrier, Typre 51C DDG, and others):
PLAN Submarine Base Pictures (SSBN, several SSN and SS...and an entrance to an underground facility):

Sad thing is, US military bases are equally revealing, showing structures, berths, dry docks, vessels, and giving the exact latitude and longitude readings that would make smart weapon targeting very easy. A country without sufficient resource has an on-the-cheap military satellite system for targeting and analysis built into Google earth.
IMHO, the department of defense should require goolge earth to blur out pictures of our vital bases post haste .

Then China will just buy photos from someone else if they want it. It's just the reality of the modern world.

China has some of their own sats with better resolution than this I am sure...I was thinking more of terrorists, rogue nations, etc.
Why make it easier for them? I know they will buy the info from places like China and others...but at least make them pay, and operate under the control of those other nations rather than putting it out there for free and making it a poor-mans sat system.
Just my thoughts.

Interesting.
When I view my home on Google Earth a power plant in our area is blurred out. I just presumed it would be the same for U.S. Military bases.

Looked at Guam last night, saw or new attacks subs stationed there. Looked at Diego Garcia, saw our B52s lined up on the tarmac. Same in San Diego, etc.

It looks like they painted a bullseye on the deck of that aircraft carrier for us to aim at.
I predict that when the Chicoms see these photos, Google will be persona nongrata in Beijing.
To: Jeff Head
Too bad Google earth satellite images are not more current. Know images I've viewed are about 3 years old.
To: Jeff Head
You mean mole and mole intelesting.

The Google Earth photo of my home is from 2000. How updated are the photos you're looking at of Guam and other bases?
To: Jeff Head
Google Earth picks tend to be a minimum of 4 years old, sure they might help targeting some but you have no idea what's changed between then and now. And it's not like they're the only source for this old data, they've just compiled stuff that already in the public domain and put it in a sexy UI.

Hi Jeff,
Using these coordinates is quite another thing. On our GPS sats there is a signal that's in the clear and another sub-band message. While one is transmitted in the clear the other is for DOD use only. The system is set-up to cut off the signal that's available to the public and only transmit the DOD message during a time of war.
This is why the Europeans are setting up a network of their very own. Milsat is a completely different system than GPS BTW.

Actually, since this sat pic was taken, the PLAN has laid down the primer for a non-skid surface on that carrier. More and more indication that it is being prepped for active service..

YEs...but for fixed structures (dry docks, berths, storgae facilities, etc) they lat. and long. remain pertinent.
