Note that the 'date' class is no longer required by the survexp function, so
the date library is no longer bundled into the survival package.
You can still load the date package separately, but I discourage it since the
newer Date class has more functionality and support.

What you see is the result of 'printing' something of the class 'date'.
> x <- as.date(c("1jan1960"))
> x
[1] 1Jan60
> str(x)
Class 'date' int 0
> unclass(x)
[1] 0
> getAnywhere('print.date')
