The ‘quiet’ submarine screw for boomers and attack submarines [US] to make them invisible to Soviet sonar during the 1980s. Japan was manufacturing them for the US but sold [leaked] the design to the Soviets secretly. If there’d been a sea war between the USSR and US the damage would have been revealed.
