Tapping of undersea cables was never that big of a secret....
Speaking from the pervue of a 30+ year Telecom Engineer....

I don't understand why it is that we are so open nowadays about capabilities of our newest boats. Not so long ago this was verboten.
When/Who changed the Navy's policy of "We do not discuss the operations of U.S. submarines".

Read Blind Man's Bluff and read all about the cable tapping by the US Subs. One sub would actually leave California, go around Tierra Del Fuego (the extreme tip of South America for you readers from Rio Lindo)and go north around Scandinavia to Murmansk to do their thing.

There has been a great deal of mocking on threads concerning the
USS Jimmy Carter. I'd like to remind people that this submarine is a state-of-the-art war fighting machine and will be manned by a crew of brave sailors who will serve their boat with pride.
And Carter, lest we forget, was a naval officer and a submariner who served honorably. Say what one may about his disastrous presidency, this honor cannot be taken away from him.

An intelligence gathering submarine named after the the dumbest SOB to ever occupy the Oval Office.
And before the Carter-apologists start talking about how 'smart 'Carter was, that alleged 'smart' guy managed to lose Iran, Afghanistan and Panama on his watch, nearly abandoned U.S. military superiority to the Soviets, and presided over the biggest economic disaster since the Great Depression.

And WHO THE F*** would name a ship after one of the WORST presidents in history!?

They also tapped cables on the Sov's east coast.
This is nothing new. Might be a new ship doing it, but the capability's been around a long time and books have been written about it.

Yeah, blah-blah-blah. So was the Walker family.

When/Who changed the Navy's policy of "We do not discuss the operations of U.S. submarines". The navy said nothing. From the article:
The Navy does not acknowledge the $3.2 billion submarine, the third and last of the Seawolf class of attack subs, has this capability. “That’s going to be classified in nature,” said Kevin Sykes, a Navy spokesman. “You’re not going to get anybody to talk to you about that.”
It was a writer who disclosed these items of interest:
“The submarine is basically going to have as its major function intelligence gathering,” said James Bamford, author of two books on the National Security Agency.
He may be correct, he may be full of it.

Yeah, blah-blah-blah. So was the Walker family. I take offense mainly at making dispairrging remarks about the ship itself. Us sailors tend to take these attacks personally. Many of us who have served on a navy vessel keep that boat in a special place in our hearts.

yea.....but it was leaked a long time ago... Talking about leaks in a discussion of submarines could be considered in poor taste.

I knew Carter was tapping someone's phone........
To: Sub-Driver
After working for many years on classified stuff for the military, my blood ran cold at seeing this kind of classified info being bandied about!
I am surprised this isn't ZOTTED already!
All reporters should be briefed and debriefed on the policy. This is not a game, folks! We have a lot of enemies in the World!
