Impressive. I'm a bit dumbfounded though that we so openly publish high-res close up photos of the screws nowadays (among many other formerly-top-secret details). It wasn't all that long ago, submariners would undertake dangerous missions to carry out underwater looks, sneaking up on adversary vessels to get intelligence photos... the screws being a particular item of interest. Such a dry dock photo would've been a major intelligence coup!
