I still think the resolution is too low to tell whether it is there or not.
Keyhole/Google - more great images

You are probably right, but the cover up idea is little more interesting and fun...I still think the resolution is too low to tell whether it is there or not.
And if there was a little bit of editing going on, I really wouldnt be surprised. All it would take is little clone tool work in Photoshop. Erin

First of all, there wouldn't be a '12' on the Lincoln, but a '72'I don't know, Nick...shouldnt we be able to see the big number "12" on the USS honest Abe that we can see in the pic you provided? I smell an editing conspiracy! Erin
Here's another one I found, at Philadelphia Navy Yard. Flight deck looks a bit odd, but it's possible this one is still under construction:
Carrier at Philadelphia
The only think that doesn't make sense is that all the carrier construction is being done at Newport News, although it's possible the fitting out is done somewhere else.
Ah, don't mind me, I'm a bit of a navy enthusiast...

I don't know, I think deep down inside the people at Google are very pleased with this. After all, the end-user still sees it's Google Maps.

Well the satellite maps definitely have been edited.I'm wondering whether or not (some of) the images have undergone some kind of editing to hide 'sensitive' information...
Check out the view of the US Capitol and Supreme Court buildings
The roof of the White House and Executive office buildings have been edited (painted over) probably to hide anti-aircraft placements.

Try this link to my home district:

It is right where they stitched the imagery together, so there is a very strange effect with the taller buildings: b/c some are viewed from the north and some from the south. It is very M.C. Escher to me. Look close. Freaky.
