The problem is, it was supposed to be top secret

Slightly better source: A manta ray unmanned submarine seen at a California naval base on Google Maps
This underwater drone is so secretive… it has several pages on the Northrop Grumman and DARPA websites…
The secret is so secret that DARPA is releasing close-up photos of it. :
It is simply not a military zone.
the Port of Hueneme It is a civilian port but its traffic is managed by the Navy – there is sea traffic (container ships and their partners) and a military base in one corner.
The Port of Hueneme in Port Hueneme, California, United States, is the only deep-water port between Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area. […] The port complex not only serves international shipping companies, but is an operational facility of Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC).
The port has a direct highway connection to the national shipping network, raising the profile of the port and giving it access to more federal funding, resulting in a competitive advantage. […]
The Navy controls ship movements. As a joint port between NBVC and the Oxnard Port District, the US Navy has over 4,500 feet (1,400 m) of berthing space for various ship platforms for use by NBVC's charter commands: Port Hueneme and government transit/military shipping contract.
