A lot of this information I've pieced together from various books I've read. It amazes me that some of this stuff is even remotely sensitive. For example the BSY-2 on the Seawolf uses a network of 70 68030 processors. 68030 are ANCIENT! These are the processors that were in the original MACs. The processors we use at work are orders of magnitude faster. I guess my point is, the technology isn't that special and doesn't need to be so secret, but the application of the technology should be. I.E. missions and operations.
Anyway, this is all off my original topic. Thanks Rip and Dr. Sid. I think that fills in the missing pieces in my mind. But now I am going to be compelled to create a little simulation to prove out these concepts. That curiosity thing just sucks some days.
