Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water — well, as “safe” as it gets on the Jersey shore — amateur ship-spotters start spotting Russian ballistic missile submarines out there! Naturally the Center of Excellence went into overdrive when this headline appeared, and then shifted back to normal drive when eyes were lain on the associated photo.
Whatever that thing is, a Typhoon it ain’t.
(For the record, if a Typhoon did get close to a beach, it would probably look like this — although there’s no telling whether this photo is real, either)
So what do you think that thing actually is?
