>Looking at the LBP pic for anything that could potentially be crane related, I suppose this collection of pixels could potentially be a crane/dredger. Tbh it could just be a boat with a mast.

>Could be 2 barges or a tug towing a scow (learn something everyday). Only mention it because I stumbled across this.

Okay frens, just found info that MAY convince anons that the vessel (that looks like a dredger inside ANAHEIM BAY is not likely a masted ship. The entrance/exit to HUNTINGTON HARBOUR passes underneath Pacific Coast Hwy near Anaheim Bay. Not likely a masted sailboat. Doubtful any sailboats with masts as tall as a dredger derrick are at Huntington Harbour. See pic. Also looked at SAT images and see no masted vessels in HUNTINGTON HARBOUR.

For those of you rooting for it being a derrick of a dredger? We have some proof of dredging operations. In just January of this year (2021) a new specially dedicated civilian" channel was completed for the boaters of HUNTINTON HARBOUR keeping them away from the NAVY DOCK at ANAHEIM BAY. Also falling heavily on the side of dredging going on is the fact the NAVY is preparing the site for larger ships, Understand also, they actually cut a new channel for civilian boaters.

So good news for anons suffering from confirmation bias guilt.

AN EXCERPT FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER ARTICLE

The new channel is part of a 5-year, $150 million construction project begun in January 2020 that will also result in a new, 1,100-foot-long Navy pier extending toward the ocean, replacing the current wharf that sits parallel to the shore. Additionally, plans call for a new breakwater to protect the pier.

The project will allow the Navy to dock 840-foot amphibious assault ships, which are too big to fit at the existing dock and currently are loaded by helicopters offshore of Camp Pendleton. And it will allow the Navy to dock and load two medium-sized ships simultaneously.

But those aren’t the only reasons traffic at the new munitions pier will be increasing.

The Navy is reassigning part of its fleet in the Atlantic, where 60% of its ships have been based, to the Pacific, which will eventually be home to about 60% of the vessels. The shift comes because the Pacific is gaining importance in terms of commerce and the possibility of military conflict, according to Naval Weapons Station spokesman Gregory Smith.

Currently, the wharf sees about 40 visits a year from predominantly San Diego-based ships, which average about three days in the bay each stop. The weapons station is already the biggest ammunition-loading facility for the Pacific fleet and will continue that status when the number of annual visits increase to 50 or 60, Smith said. That number could increase further if there’s a conflict in the Pacific, he said.

Well, for this project at least, work began in JAN2020. So not related to what we see in LBP.png. But anon posted a pic above that def showed silting up of the central corridor from the entrance/mouth of ANAHEIM BAY.

It is evident just from the SAT pic that the silting comes from the mouth of the bay and is prolly further carried in as well by the wakes of the boats entering where the calmer waters inside the breakwaters allow it to settle in the lane of traffic. Dredging prolly just to maintain depth. Observe the difference of water color outside vs. inside the breakwaters. Guessing that is not just turbidity caused by wave action.

What if LBP was just a piece of cheerleading by Q re the Navy PACFLEET buildup by POTUS in the Pacific and we never got a chance to "future prove past"?

Just a thought. It would be something to boast about.

Rethinking my position on that. Another pic shows turbid water apparently emanating from mouth of ANAHEIM BAY. There is an opening to ANAHEIM BAY to the South but it is fully exposed to waves, unprotected by breakwaters and prolly has a sand bar. Possibility tide water entering from South, OR pic reflects a more turbid baywater due to dredging. But one thing I do know: Turbid water would not gather of its own, esp. exposed to wave action, AND THEN ENTER a small mouth created by the breakwaters of the bay.
