A top-secret US submarine prototype weapon called “Manta Ray” has been spotted by eagle-eyed Google Maps users and remains plainly visible to the internet public.
Satellite photos showing the “Star Wars”-looking vessel docked at Port Hueneme naval base in California went viral Sunday, its unmistakable profile standing out in stark contrast to its dockmates.
It's absolutely propaganda. If it wasn't we wouldn't know about it. They didn't parade out the B-2 or the F-117 until after the cold war ended. They didn't acknowledge the SR-71 until it was retired. Those were weapons, this is a flimsy show of force to make people think we have something comparable to Russia's drone subs.

'The only Top Secret toy, that Grumman shares openly via a internet video?
And the TS team leaves in the open at a dock to be photographed on Google Maps. And the diversity team tells the reporter about the TS propulsion system, also using an "efficient, buoyancy-driven gliding to move through the water" all secretly of course.
Well is runs underwater so I hope it is bouyant, someone hopefully drives it and when its not being propelled it should Glide a bit through the water like all water craft-subs.
Seriously, if they were really trying to hide it, they wouldn't put it in an open dock I hope unless the DEI director defined TS the inclusive way so everyone knows.'
I don't think it's ever been top secret and certainly isn't top secret now because the Navy made a big reveal with people standing on it as it went through the water. Doesn't seem like there's anything super high tech about it. It just has an interesting shape is all. I frankly think it's a public release to try to make people think the US Navy is not being completely outclassed by the Russian autonomous nuclear powered atomic bombs that are apparently patrolling the ocean as we speak.

Hang out on the bottom of the ocean until a narco sub comes along, then, boom, eat it.
