I was watching TV today and they mentioned that the Turkish government made a blunder out of its rush to show the Piri Reis submarine:
Apparently,the Piri Reis' propeller was revealed to the world without any cover on top. From what the guy on the story said (if I got it correctly),a submarine's propeller must always be covered when it's in open view,because enemies can study it,run the shape on simulators and computer and thus discover the submarine's soundprint. He concluded by saying,the people at the HN are probably very happy right now.
Unfortunately,I don't have articles and videos from reliable defence sites right now. They will probably talk about it later.
But...it's possible the Turkish government,for propaganda reasons,rushed to show the submarine or completely ignored any objections from the Turkish Navy leadership...just to brag. If that's the case,then it's a big blunder. Anyone,who's an expert on the subject?
