That’s a nav radar not a satellite antenna. It would be down right irresponsible (and probably illegal - I’m not really good with law concerning civilian ship)

That’s a nav radar not a satellite antenna. It would be down right irresponsible (and probably illegal - I’m not really good with law concerning civilian ship) to sail a ship this size without one.
Restoration is good but there is no reason to put the crew in unnecessary danger.

To have the vessel sail in A3 areas the common choice is to have satellite communication, and it is used for their social media and outreach. The navigation radars is actually quite well hidden sitting on the platform of the foremast.
