I understood his statement perfectly, I am answering with the well known fact that the US Sub Force is very close to the vest in what it puts out publicly, and the Navy in general is. We only admitted to the SEALS after they were used in an old comic strip.
Why, well for the Sub Force it stems from WWII, and still lingers on. To this day I have never heard of a Journalist being allowed in the Engineering spaces. It is just part of our "corporate image" I guess.
I really don't know why some people who post here feel the need to explain others post.
Hensen What US Sub goes 50 Knots? To the best of my knowledge the Alfa went "around" 45 knots, and that was billed as the world's fastest sub.
