Why is Iran building giant mock-up of U.S. aircraft carrier?

a reply to: dragonridr
It may be cheaper to do it with CGI, but CGI rarely looks real to me. There are a few exceptions where it's hard to tell. Not that the mock-up looks perfectly real, it doesn't, but maybe it looks less fake than CGI? I don't know.

They didn't build the Titanic when they made that movie they created sets. That's why I think it would take a moron to build an aircraft carrier when a set could be built on a sound stage in a week or 2. And to recreate the entire ship for a movie had to be the dumbest thing I ever heard. Huge waist of time money and effort.

All information provided about SAFF Offshore Industries is false, even where the company's location is wrong.
There is no such thing as a mock up of air craft in SAFF yard ,SAFF is a big EPC contractor in the field of Oil & Gas and Energy, and hereby we invite all to visit our construction yard .

Those are two different sites. The clearer one is the Cochin Shipyards in India where they built the INS Vikrant which is pictured. The second is from the SAFF Offshore Industries Company's shipyards west southwest from Bandar Abbas and the dry docks appear identical to the ones with the carrier mock up (minus the carrier).

Edit to add: here are the coordinates for SAFF, 27.054893,55.972783.

Then you better tell Google to move your company's location as they put it right on top of where this mock carrier is being built.

Additionally, the coordinates you provided are exactly on the site for where the mock carrier photo was taken.

You always come on to forums and post bull****?

This is bad news...
