This is an april fool‘s joke, isn‘t it? This website is the only source for this news that I could find and the ship was also commissioned only two years ago.
I had the same thought. Also, it seems wildly improbable that a real news story about this tech would lack even a passing mention of The Hunt For Red October, yet here there is none.
Military was holding the info for a while but then decided they wanted it released so they called up a reporter they knew. Probably as a warning to a certain frenemy.
