How do I know this? Discovery Channel had one of their theme nights last night. It was 'Stealth' night to plug the new 'Stealth' movie.

And as part of the 3hours on Stealth/Modern Air War - they were allowed to talk/identify and film - a B-2 crew.

They interviewed Paul IV, when they started to talk about the fact that even though the B-2 is used for convential strikes these days - it still has a nuclear deterrent mission - and the 'devices' are still on the base.
