Is nothing classified anymore???

And the drop in level of classification is enough to make you break out in a
sweat. Hell, they even let them publish stuff about the fringes of
compartmentalization.

There is always SBU (sensitive but unclassified - "...it's not a secret
but I can't tell you...") which frequently is unclassified but not something
you want the whole world to know (Your Social Security number,
weight and age if distaff, "A + B = X" stuff)

On the WEB? USN?? Oh great. Who needs enemies????

Well, to an ex-zoomie ground pounder like me the USN sometimes... never
mind. <grin>

Well at least downgraded than declassified perhaps. I hope.

All the above is hypothetical of course.

That shows a remarkable amount of common sense.

Without going into detail, one section of the ATP was printed on a different
color paper, blue as I recall. These pages were also of the not so really
classified category. However these pages were specifically for use between
ships of the USN and the USSR. So the existence of the ATP wasn't a secret,
just its contents. And those were a pretty open secret since just about
everyone who had to work in Combat, CIC to you gropos :-), had to have
access to it.
