I had always heard the Enterprise could do" donuts" and obscure things. A unique propulsion explains a lot. 5 reactors.. for what? ..you would never put that much energy on a screw. the extra reactor could be for the hybrid propulsion..?!
Am i close?

Close? I'm speculating like you. It seems that with all that extra power they could generate a charge powerful enough to create a boundary layer. But the real question is with all of that power could they generate a field large enough to make the carrier invisible?

A Sub base in the middle in the Nevada desert seems a little bit extreme but I would be surprised at this.
This isn't anything new. The navy has been testing subs in Idaho for a long time, why not Nevada. Here is a thread.
Hawthorne sits at around 6000 feet above sea level,
and then add that to the altitude of Hawthorne, and you have a pretty deep underground base! DocMoreau

Hawthorne sits at 4300 ft. Reno sits at 5600 ft.
If you add the altitude of Hawthorne (4300 ft.) to sea level you come out with 4300 ft, above sea level.
Most deep underground bases are about a mile down.

Sorry, I was looking at a Topo Map, and was thinking Hawthorne was green, not light green... never mind. The map was Small...

I guess I was not clear in what I said. So would that make the base about 9500 feet under Hawthorne? (5280+4300) and a Mile under Monterey Bay? Or do you think the underground tubes change elevations? If that is the case, I bet its tricky manuvering with no windows! It wouldn't surprise me if there was some sort of upward oriented water filled shaft that they were able to identify and thats why they chose the base's location. Still, its all very Z.O.W.I.E. to me...

It was the recollection of a former worker at the NTS that "an awful lot of drilling" was done in Area 19, but relatively few nuclear blasts. He says there was a story released that the drillers hit an underground lake as a result the NTS was not able to fully utilize the area.
Ubehebe Crater, Death Valley National Park
Ubehebe Crater system contains several volcanic craters, cinder cones and ash hills, all relics from an explosive steam eruption about 2,000 years ago, when rising magma met an underground lake.

But the Navy is not just about "water". They even have jets that fly in the air! They even have members who do covert operations outside of the water!
Just sayn'

very strange area. look at the base with google maps. good post John! for visual evidence use this (38.565998, -118.641357) in google maps to search. its very strange

The Other Kind Of Crop Circles
There are many circular irrigation fields in Nevada, including some around Rachel which invariably draw attention when folks see them on Google earth.
I've seen some amazing theories regarding what they are, but I can attest that when viewed up close, they look remarkably like...
Circular irrigation fields.
Also, to those who wonder why a Naval Base would be in the middle of the desert. Simple. Not all things done by the Navy are water related. They have jets that need to train and do bombing practice.
There are many reasons why there would be Navy inland.
