The ProPulse system uses a unique, modular series-hybrid arrangement to simplify the transmission of power to the wheels. The diesel engine powers an electric generator, which provides direct power to the wheels, eliminating the torque converter, automatic transmission, transfer case and drive shafts. The system has no batteries, using ultracapacitors for energy storage instead. A regenerative system uses the traction motors as generators for vehicle braking, storing the energy and then uses it during the next acceleration event, thus reducing wear and tear on the brake system.

What's the story with recovered Lake Michigan planes? I thought the Navy owns them (forever).

Yes - the US Navy retains ownership of all Naval aircraft until sold or disposed of. This was re-asserted in 2004 as the Sunken Military Craft Act.

Although the SMCA was specifically promulgated for the US Navy, some sources say the act now protects aircraft from all branches, including craft that belonged to the US Army Air Force.
