The Navy just got a new attack vector for submarines.

"USS Florida and three of her sisters were to have been scrapped, but the Bush administration decided to spend about $900 million apiece to convert them instead. "
Something worth our money for sure. This makes sense and at least we are not wasting money by scrapping the boomers.

Headline seems incorrect:
Headline: US Navy Successfully Controls Unmanned Aerial Vehicle from Submarine.
Article: "While the UAV in the test was not controlled by the submarine, work toward that goal continues..."

Question regarding this story:
If the sub transmits to control the UAV, won't it give away the fact of its presence and location? Does this mean that this system can only be used in areas where there are no anti-submarine forces?
An inquiring mind wants to know, thanks.
