It’s a top-secret navy project, so we’ll put it
below the fold on page one of the
N.Y. Times.
I predict these torpedo-proof battleships will not stand up to torpedoes as well as the navy hopes.

Well, they were testing American torpedoes against the battleship hulls. Nope, no damage here!!! In fact, these hulls are so good the torpedo either veers away from it, runs underneath it, or just harmlessly thuds into the side without exploding! Damn, those new battleship hulls are good!

Don’t worry. B. Hussein Obama has promised he will stop development of “provocative” new weapons like this.

Beg to differ. I don’t think we lost any USN battleships built after 1938 (Iowa class and what else?) to torpedoes (the BBs lost to torps at Pearl Harbor were WWI era).
