Fun thing about classified information: A lot of it is a verbatim copy of stuff you can find in Janes Defense Weekly. There was a big to-do about displaying the propeller of a Sturgeon class submarine in the Smithsonian long after everyone and their brother had 7-bladed, highly skewed propellers. They don't even bother to cover them up in a lot of photos anymore. The thing they cover is the the shrowd.

The Navy is especially jealous about anything related to nuclear technologies.
