Reminds me of the long gone <i>USS Blue Jacet</i> at the Naval Training Center in Orlando.<p><a href="http://www.panoramio.com/m/photo/14389433" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.panoramio.com&#x2F;m&#x2F;photo&#x2F;14389433</a>

There is something similar in the UK for type 45 destroyers[1].<p>Street view: <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=50.855755,-1.090069&amp;spn=0.001954,0.005096&amp;t=h&amp;layer=c&amp;cbll=50.855755,-1.090069&amp;panoid=5tVxlu7OInEzuar34Z1itA&amp;cbp=12,9.88,,0,-6.4&amp;z=18" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maps.google.com&#x2F;maps?ll=50.855755,-1.090069&amp;spn=0.00...</a><p>[1]<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_45_destroyer" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Type_45_destroyer</a>

[Tangent]<p>The name reminds me of the Cornfield Bomber, an F-106 (not a bomber) that accidentally landed gently in a field (not a cornfield) after the pilot ejected.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornfield_Bomber" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Cornfield_Bomber</a>
