US Navy official Twitter account (posted ) The transponders being on, and the press releases, are all shows of force. Unlike the leaks to Fox News from Pentagon sources and other news organisations around the positions of the Russian Navy AGI Viktor Leonov, which were derived from US Navy intelligence sources and clearly Secret, if not Top Secret, these are public displays of the US Navy's ability to project power to the other side of the globe. The US Navy themselves post to official US Navy web pages and social media about US Navy submarine deployments the screenshots embedded are proof of that, in case you hadn't noticed these posts before, or are not following the US Navy on social media. I speculate they are not spoken openly about for political, rather than OPSEC, reasons. The technique I'm going to show you suggests that they are not hiding, and know it. My objective in highlighting the following is to raise awareness that the supposed secrecy surrounding those deployments does not to hide their area of deployment from the Chinese Navy, North Korean Navy, or the Russian Navy it hides or obfuscates their deployments from the collective knowledge of the American people, who happen to pay for the US Navy though their taxes. The safety of those submarines, and their submariners, is of paramount importance to everyone. You don't want to tell an adversary where the submarines are, so you don't jeopardize their mission. ( Edit) The purpose of the secrecy around the locations of US Navy SSNs, SSGNs, and SSBNs is operational security OPSEC. US Navy official photo (exact credit unknown)
