Type-A Midget Submarine

The Japanese Type-A Midget Submarine dates back from the Second World War. The killer whale-shaped vessel lies deserted on Kiska Island out on the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. When the Japanese withdrew from there in July 1943, they decided to destroy their subs using internal explosive charges. That is why all that remained of the vessel was the skeleton, although it can be thought of as an unprotected artifact that people can squeeze themselves in. During the Second World War, Japanese troops built military infrastructure and defense measures on the island to get to U.S. territories.

Object 221 or Bunker Alsou

Object 221, also known as Bunker Alsou and Protected Command Point Black Sea Fleet, was a Soviet stronghold in the Mishen Mountains, Ukraine. The bunker is the biggest underground structure in the country with the exception of the subway. The Soviets used the stronghold to keep the Black Sea command safe from a nuclear attack by the U.S. Built in 1977, the tunnels run for over 6 miles with four levels that go into the mountain. The bunker was clearly a Cold War product like Object 825, the Balaklava nuclear submarine base since it was the regional headquarters for the Black Sea Fleet. It was also the emergency command center for the Soviet military.
