Description
An idea that's been bouncing around in my head for a few years. A military instillation based on the Big Shell facility from Metal Gear Solid 2 with some recent ideas from the Mother Base seen in MGSV: The Phantom Pain. What's not shown well is that the safety fence around the perimeter of the top of the base is using the chain-link fence material in Sketchup's material list.

Dimensions: The entire facility is 125 m long and 130 m wide, the command block (the tall central one) is 24 meters tall (on top of the other blocks), while each block is 15 m tall (above the waterline), 2.5 m below the waterline, 50 m long and ~43.3 m wide, the placeholders for some superstructure facilities on the Processing Wing are 12.5 m wide/long and 2.5 m tall. (Note the height of the Command Block does not include the height of the radar dome.)

The grey structure around the command block is basically a gutter to collect rainwater around the top of the block (since there's an indent in the roof where the radar dish is). This rainwater is guided to the processing wing to be used as an extra source of drinking water for the crew of the facility. Around the top of the command block is a solar panel for auxiliary power generation. There's a water intake at the bottom of the processing block, sea water is brought in and processed into drinking water.

Updated to fix a labeling error, Manufacturing Wing A was labeled Manufacturing Wing B in the previous version, meaning that there were two Manufacturing Wing B's, which was illogical.
