Things must have changed since the 1980s.

When I was involved in producing power units for boats, it was company policy and part of our security indoctrination that, outside the secure environment, we could only refer to our products as "power units". No mention of the particular technology involved in the production of power was allowed.

This was even in our classifier's manual, specifically concerning NOFORN and documents for release to the general public.

Guess the US Navy isn't as uptight as it was back then.
