@mattblaze@federate.social Cool photo. I think technical secrets are probably easier to keep that operational ones. Building secret radio towers as contengencies against a nuclear attack is probably a pretty easy one to keep, but take, for example, my favorite secret project, the Glomar Explorer. They were able to build that huge subtrafuge ship in complete secret, but as soon as they used it to grab the sub, the whole thing became public in the press because it was such a “cool” secret.
