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.
