Without a doubt. My friend who served on a nuke didn't talk much about the mission. While they frequently wound up in Holy Loch they also went into other ports like Norfolk. You can't really keep a u-boat coming into port a secret but they certainly didn't want anyone setting their watch by the return of the USS Baitfish every three months. At least we owe GPS to the nukes to some extent. If you're going to launch a ballistic missile you have to know where you are. Some things you can't keep secret: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLF_Transmitter_Cutler We sailed past about 2 miles off shore and the rumble of what I assume were the generators sounded like you were going to be run over by a lobster boat any moment.
