What do you actually mean by numbers in this context?

- danpalmer 3y agoI imagine it's things like the maximum power output of the power plant, the volume it runs at, things like that. Similarly, the max depth of submarines and their audible signature are closely guarded secrets.
- trklausss 3y agoIf they are talking about the power plant I’d assume it’s also characteristic things like response times and control/configuration data. That’s what ultimately identifies a reactor to pick the apart from others. E.g. if you exactly know reactor XY was assigned to Z submarine, and you see it in the boneyard, you could assume Z was decommissioned. And if you are e.g. China you could estimate how many submarines are deployed in your vicinity.
