So, everyones probably all heard of this by now, but I thought it was pretty interesting. This was found a dudes blog, and this submarines propeller designs we supposed to be super secret. They even covered it up so that noone could see.

The Sub

 

 

 

Whoops... :P

:shock: Thats cool

Haha bad mistake but cool design.

Oh noes, here comes the other countries to steal our design.

Oh yeah, like no one knows America's into top-techology. -.-

 

 

 

New solution: Indoor dry docks. -.-

If it was that top secret, it would be inside as mentioned above. The U.S. isn't the only country with satellites... they know that someone else can see that. Also I'm thinking they would have that shut down in a heartbeat.

 

 

 

My guess: Isn't top secret design, it might be hush hush, but if it leaks its not that big of a deal.

 

 

 

Oh and the covered part... isn't the same sub.

 

 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

I take that back, it might be the same sub.

 

 

 

But again, if it was that top secret, that camera wouldn't be allowed near it.

So that's where the 2.3 Trillion dollars went to..

how's that one little propeller going to push the whole sub? you'd think the whole thing would go off balance and spin.

I don't think it was really all that important. If it were so top secret, there's no way that a satellite would've been able to get at it that easily.

Stabilising fins.

 

 

 

I don't think its super class top secret, I mean there's plenty of other subs whose props are well documented. Looks pretty neat though.

 

 

 

Edit: A couple more things, I'm sure the Americans are more worried about the Chinese using their own satellites to photograph military sites than Google. They'll have it in much higher res that's show in these 4 tiny pictures.

 

 

 

Also judging by all the scaffolding around the prop I'd assume that what we are seeing is an old design and its being replaces by something even better than we haven't seen.
