OH PUH-LEASE!!!! There's nothing classified in DW. If there was, everyone here would need a clearence, and your hard drive would be stored in a safe. You couldn't play DW over the Internet either, you'd have to use the SIPRNET. Oh, and the window behind your computer? You need to put some blinds on that. And nobody talk about the game, for heaven's sake without turning on the white noise generator! That'd be a classified conversation. People have been saying things implying that a given subsim contains classified information since Microsoft's Red Storm Rising. They didn't have anything then, and they don't have anything now.

Somehow, they draw on a small family of TL curves and use it to compute a very simple signal-to-noise ratio. There's nothing classified in that. Even the Navy's official sonar models are unclassified. At most they're maybe FOUO. The database feeding values into them is the classified part. Here's some screenshots of their sonar models:

This has been my stance eversince Sub Command and DW's early start. We don't know how much classified material they used for any of their modelling and can't make judgements as such.
