- isawczuk 1y agoMaybe military is not best place to have "piracy internet", yet I think with current tech - internet access should not be an issue.
- emchammer 1y agoHow in the bloody hell do you install a Starlink on a submarine?
- jimmydddd 1y ago---The Starlink dish was secretly installed on the Independence Class vessel’s weather deck, where it was relatively out of view. The network was initially named “Stinky”, but it was later renamed to appear to be a wireless printer – despite there being no such devices aboard. ---The Starlink dish wasn’t discovered until a civilian technician, installing a Starshield satellite communications system, noted the device and reported it to a senior crew member.
- emchammer 1y agoArg, thanks. I literally read that, but there was too much advertising on that site. Maybe the Navy needs to provide Wi-Fi to sailors if it means that much for their morale. And maybe consumer endpoint security needs to be so rock-solid that a sailor can trust their phone/laptop on a voyage.
