“軍用與民用電信形之別 Contrast of Telecommunication Forms: Military vs Civil” / USS Peleliu (LHA-5) in Hong Kong / SML.20130418.6D.01910.BW
Spy vs Spy.
The radar towers of the USS Peleliu with a distant view of The Center (Chinese: 中環中心) makes for an interesting contrast of forms. In the front, the radars are used for telecommunication in the battlefield while the antennas on the top of the office building is likely used for civil telecom uses.
The Center is the fifth tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong. With a height of 346 m (1,135 ft), it comprises 73 stories. The Center is one of the few skyscrapers in Hong Kong that is entirely steel-structured with no reinforced concrete core [1].
Also pictured at the lower right corner of the capture you can see the top of the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港四季酒店), a five-star hotel building in the International Finance Centre complex in Central, Hong Kong [2].
