Here's a better link for you to read Jerry.
The article you posted from extreme tech really surprises me with the amount of errors in it when most of the major news outlets covered it, along
with nearly all the flight blogs and aviation news websites.
A few points from the ExtremeTech that at a glance I can see are wrong are:
The SR-72 is not meant to operate off an aircraft carrier.
It says that Lockheed have confirmed it into Active deployment, they never confirmed this.
In the very next line after they said it's gone into active deployment they say Lockheed is building a reduced scale model to be built around 2018.
From what it seems they've just rewrote the Wired or Popsci article on the SR-72 but it's factually incorrect.
If you want I can pm you a list of reputable sources for aviation intel?
