Again, purely hypothetically: if the crew of a US attack sub decided to make their sub go "quack," I'm sure the US Navy would have heard it. But that may well be *all* that the US Navy knows of it. Let's say that the sonar techs on the San Angeles class attack sub USS Montana got likkered up one night and modified their sub to go "quack" instead of "ping"... and *didn't* clue the Captain in. Tehre would ahv ebeen some substantial unpleasantness onboard, but depending on the individuals involved it need not have made it into the official reports. Purely hypothetical. If the quacking went on for more than a day or two, it would not likely have been just some techs screwing around, but instead would have been a larger operation. Even so, there'd be no good reason to declassify the operation (oter than some people might want to satisfy their curiosity), and good reasons to not acknowledge it (because it might be used in the future). There may be Chinese subs and surface vessels in the future that hear Cthulhu threatening to eat them. Or their ancestors bitchin' at 'em. Or something.
