I actually believe the radar surveillance excuse (on a technicalities only), if that's what this is going to come down to. The ocean is a big empty place and prime for picking up radar reflections as the background is pretty quiet.
However... how on earth was this not identified like 10 years ago way before these projects were even started? Seems pretty obvious in hindsight.
- Retz4o4 10mo agoYoure taking the bait.
- platevoltage 10mo agoIt's almost certainly the best excuse they could think up to placate the masses.
- bakies 10mo agoSounds plausible but it would have been identified 10 years ago which is why everyone in the thread thinks it's a dubious claim. One I would have believed more is that they're worried about being too reliable on the offshore wind which can be easily attacked by a foreign navy or maybe a smaller group.
- janc_ 10mo agoThere is a Belgian company that can use temperarure & other fluctuations in underseas power & cimmunication cables to detect nearby objects etc. I'm sure they are willing to help the US navy if they can convince them the US is a solid NATO partner… ( oh, wait, that might have become difficult…)
