U.S. Navy Submarine First In World Fitted With Silent Caterpillar Drive - Naval News
Submarines use stealth to dominate the seas, presenting an illusive yet deadly threat. Now U.S. Navy submarines will take stealth to a new level. American submarines will now be fitted with magnetohydrodynamic drive.
It is most likely a joke.
Nah, the navy totally publishes their most secret technology, including the location of sea trials which in this case happens to be in a river.
The Penobscot River in Maine even.
Montana was where the one Russian wanted to move to, in the movie.
Is naval news legitimate?? I just went looking for verification as it just got announced.
However awesome the caterpillar drive is, there are now women serving onboard US Submarines.
Advantage negated
Now the enemy will be able to hear the gossip on passive sonar.
You're more spot on than you think.
"I would have liked to have seen Montana."
What? They didn't put this on the Dallas?
Can we just keep it TOP Secret and call it a Warp Drive w/ Flux Capacitor u/#quiet
Was it paganini, seaman Beaumont?
Pavarotti is a tenor, Paganini was a composer.

We should call it Centipede drive!
Pede propulsion!
Seriously, though... How can I tell if this is legitimate? The blurb came up on a Google feed and it seems they already removed it. (I did screenshot it jic). In looking at the "Naval News" site it looks like the other stories they offer have backup from other sites (eg- reported widely). So it doesn't "seem like" they're a hoax site, seem to be seriously into naval history, etc, but then looks can be deceiving and it IS AFD after all...
Edit: It can still be found in Google News by searching for "submarine".
"Mr. Ryan, would you characterize this as a first strike weapon?" "That is a possibility, Sir. It is designed to approach by stealth and shower its targets with multiple independent warheads with little or no warning before impact." "Goddamned thing is made to start a war."
