From the New York Times, an aerial view of these Navy Barracks near San Diego, California show the shape without question. The resemblance went unnoticed for decades, as the area was off-limits to commercial aircraft, and was only recently noticed with the assistance of Google Earth.
The Navy became aware of the situation after the groundbreaking, butPublish Post decided not to do anything about it, as they thought it wouldn't be noticed.
The Anti-Defamation League in San Diego has objected to the shape of the buildings.
“We told the Navy this was an incredibly inappropriate shape for a structure on a military installation,” said Morris S. Casuto, regional director of the organization. He added, however, that his group “never ascribed evil intent to the structures’ design.”
Mr. Casuto praised the Navy for recognizing the problem and “doing the right thing.”
The $600,000 for the changes is included in the Navy’s approved 2008 budget.
