We changed the URL from https://www.spacedaily.com/reports/End_of_an_Era_Final_Delta... to an article that seems to have more background information.

Is there a better article available? If so, we can change it again.

Ars has pretty solid space coverage and I think their article [0] is fairly extensive with a few more technical details on aspects specific to DIVH. Also not related to changing the article, but first comment there links a pretty cool little movie [1] (yes absolutely PR completely with dramatic music but still real footage and DIVH is a damn cool, however expensive, rocket) ULA did on the NROL-91 launch which really was dramatic.

I don't think you'll get a whole lot more info other than "this is the mission patch, it's named NROL-70, and it was obviously big and heavy enough to launch on a Delta IV heavy". What the payload is will be totally unknown to people who don't have clearance so there isn't anything for tech journalists/websites/bloggers to write about, other than their own speculation.
