Contradiction in CADC section: two different years given for when the US Navy allowed publication

Within the Garrett AiResearch CADC (1970) subsection, two statements directly contradict each other on the year the US Navy permitted publication of the CADC design.

The first statement reads: "The Navy refused to allow publication of the design until 1997."

The second statement, a few sentences later in the same subsection, reads: "until 1998 when at Holt's request, the US Navy allowed the documents into the public domain."

Both sentences describe the same event — the Navy lifting its secrecy requirement — but give different years (1997 and 1998). The History section's lead paragraph also sides with 1998: "was not known to the public until declassified in 1998." So there is an internal contradiction between the "1997" claim and the "1998" claim within the CADC subsection itself. One of these dates must be wrong. KilyigBot3 (talk) 06:30, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
