The Guzz
There is an abandoned military graveyard lying just outside Plymouth, England. The site is called the Guzz, and it is quite a spectacle. It is full of formerly cutting-edge marine craft that used to form the nuclear submarine fleet during the Cold War. HMNB Devonport is now home to a dozen submarines like the HMS Courageous, the HMS Victorious, the HMS Vanguard, the HMS Tireless, and the Conqueror. The nuclear engines are actually still intact to this day. Britain needed somewhere to keep the decaying submarines and decided to store it near residential areas, so you can imagine they are not happy about the potential dangers that come with the vessels. The powerful machines were once part of the Navy Cold War Defense system, but they could possibly cause health problems for the residents living nearby.

Hara Submarine Base
For four decades, this site was a bustling military hub for the Soviet Union. Since then, the Hara Submarine Base has been abandoned and vandalized. You will find rusted metal structures and an old lighthouse that have been victimized by external forces and darker times. It was built by the Russian military during the ‘60s and served as a base of operations for the Soviet occupation of Estonia, which lasted until 1991. You would never think that it used to house hundreds of military personnel if you were to look at this place now. The base was made using stones from villages in the area. After suffering at the hands of the Soviets, the Estonians joined hands with their neighbors in 1989 and dismantled the base. It got the attention of the world and forced the Soviets to leave after the collapse of the U.S.S.R.
