I don't know what a producer understands (there's more than a few ex-Navy men who became journalists), although regardless of what he understands or doesn't understand they almost certainly were required to be very vague in the documentary. I know that there is also a lot of misinformation intentionally spread out there to mislead potential adversaries.

Do you think it's possibly the case that they were simulating a future weapons system in an exercise or playing the part of a red sub making simulated cruise missile attacks?
