Awesome pics Mike.
You mentioned that old Tanker 13 might have ended up at a bombing range in NC.....it's quite possible that range is the one on the way to Stumpy Point. When I was vacationing at Hatteras Island this year, I made the long drive down Rt 264 to Stumpy Point for my station pic, and there was a small sign that said Dare Navy Bombing Range at a road that ran off to the west.
Looking at Google Earth, it's obvious that is quite a large bombing range. Looks more like it's used for targeting than actual bombing, as I also noticed there was no gate across the road leading to it.
