Well golly gee. Too bad the original poster isn’t here. IIRC he never said it was anything other than a sub that is used as a test bed and didn’t require a large crew to operate. That it would have to be a $2 billion boat identical to what the Navy uses is your assumption. I don’t know what kind of test platforms that sub builders have available but I do assume that at least one exists since the Navy isn’t likely to loan out their own boats.

I'm surprised you didn't have any questions for this original poster and his/her rather unbelievable story. In all those questions I had, notice I did ask if it was EB's own design or an exiting class. Personally, I think that original poster has no idea what he/she was talking about.

EB built its own submarine to test other companies' systems. They were testing a super secret submarine launched anti-aircraft missile in busy airspace with a live warhead which was either an approved test or EB and other contractors risked doing the live fire test without approval. Some type of drone was being used as a target, but we don't know where it took off from, who operated it, or where it landed since it obviously wasn't hit if the 747 was hit instead. And everyone involved with this weapons program and accidental shootdown of a jumbo jet kept their mouths shut for reasons.

That is more or less what this original poster is claiming?

=. So much wrong with that theory it is ridiculous.

” Personally, I think that original poster has no idea what he/she was talking about.”

Let’s see... you don’t know anything about the original poster other than what’s in my one post, which consisted of a second-hand retelling of what I can recall. And on that flimsy thread you decide that he couldn’t know what he’s talking about.

There’s no need for me to comment beyond that.
