I suspect that "stealthy" here is an advertising buzz word (i.e hype) 
having very little meaning,
though it probably entails a lot of extra expense and useless hardware 
-- and extra large
profits for the builder. But then, since underwater torpedoes reported 
have the range of hundreds
of miles, anything confusing their sonar might improve the targets 
survivability (another buzz
word).
