Wow. That's either a really sad coincidence, or someone got away with something.

A sad coincidence according to:

The Public Affairs Officer at the North Island Naval Base says:

"The original plans submitted to the Navy for the project included the two central buildings which were intended to contain a boiler plant and a recreation room; and a single "L"-shaped 3-story barracks. The plan called for the "L" shaped building to be repeated three times and placed at 90-degree angles to the central buildings. It wasn't until after the groundbreaking began that Navy officials realized how the buildings would appear when seen from above."

I think someone got away with something. One look at the blueprints would have been enough for officials to realize what these buildings would look like way before there was a groundbreaking.
