And the navy has added $US600,000 ($687,000) to its 2008 budget for camouflage. Landscaping, rock structures and solar panels should help disguise the building's shape.
But it's still shaped like a swastika no? In fact isn't that rather the point now? That it can't be seen by passers by but they know it's there? :rolleyeandpalmfaceemoticon:
