Aren't submarine props usually classified? Meaning you don't just let people take pictures of them?

  I think that is just for certain US designs. If France is building them for another country, they can't be that secret. A few years ago, you could see an uncovered Trident submarine screw on Microsoft Maps (it wasn't Bing yet). http://www.ogleearth.com/navyprop.jpg http://www.ogleearth.com/navyprop.jpg

    Trident is a type of SLBM. Is that an Ohio class sub?

        Awesome! I have never seen a real picture of the screw before.
