Like, it wouldn’t be patched into anything official
But it means Musk knew where that ship was 24/7, and I’m pretty sure that’s why Ukraine’s military stopped using it. Musk tipped off Putin to troop movements.
The reason I think is because any unofficial and potentially unsecured communications access point seems like a vulnerability. If some moron posts a picture using that unofficial access point I’d be worried it could be traced to the ship’s location.
Whether they have wifi on ship or not isn’t the issue. Sometimes, when a ship goes into an operation, they will turn off all signals except passive or directed signals so that they can’t easily be detected. Having a communications signal that isn’t under the control of the ship’s officers is a huge security risk during operations.
Probably not for the reason you think.

It wouldn’t be… Until it is.
No it just wouldn’t.
Like, are you imagining a modern US warship doesn’t have internet 24/7?
This was for porn and maybe streaming services and social media, but mostly porn.
It wasn’t for any official use, because they have that covered.
You’re acting like surface ships are submarines…
last I checked, no, they don’t. they had shitty service while in port, and not much else.

fuck mate they only recently started giving their people access ON SHORE.

so no, I don’t think for the average sailor a US warship provides internet access 24/7
That article is about wifi for personal use…
And the second one is about it being free and you’re acting like they didn’t have Internet before then?
Yeah man, you have zero idea what people are talking about about.
do you think the starlink terminal in the OP article was for military use?? bwahahaha
ok buddy, have a nice life.
I said:
And on your second reply you said:
I stand by my original assessment after your first comment:
Because you literally don’t understand the conversation
The article I read explicitly says they don’t have Internet access while at sea.
yeah I don’t understand it either, but if he’s going to be a dick I’m happy to block and drive on with life
spin it however you like, this statement:
is not correct. gonna block you now, you’re a waste of time.
Yes…
The ship has Internet…
For official business.
That’s not the same as everyone having wifi for anything.
For fucks sake, how can you not understand this? It’s really not that difficult…

Someone is going to be court martialed over this.
It was exactly the reason I was thinking
