First, most IT personnel on ships (especially one as ancient as the Bonhomme Richard) do not work on weapon systems. Most of them would not even be able to discuss where on the ship they are intelligently, let alone what they connect to.
The people you talked to simply aren't informed. You even note that you were talking to 19 year old kids, and they're not generally the ones who know what's going on.
- komali2 8y agoWell that's a question I have as well - who actually knows what's going on there?
- jki275 8y agoPeople like me.

That's the kind of information I'm curious about. If the answer is "I can't tell you because it'll expose personal information," well, I'm not the one that outed you lol.
- jki275 8y agoI gave very specific comments above, and explained that I have many years of experience with these systems. No, I'm not going to give you details other than that I'm a very senior person in the field. And I'm not 19 years old...
