    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.

      https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2023/12/29/new-in-2024-better-wi-fi-for-sailors/

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

      https://www.stripes.com/branches/navy/2024-01-25/navy-free-wi-fi-pilot-program-12796438.html

      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?

        so no, I don’t think for the average sailor a US warship provides internet access 24/7

        Yeah man, you have zero idea what people are talking about about.

            I said:

            And on your second reply you said:

            do you think the starlink terminal in the OP article was for military use?? bwahahaha

            I stand by my original assessment after your first comment:

            Yeah man, you have zero idea what people are talking about

            Because you literally don’t understand the conversation

              The article I read explicitly says they don’t have Internet access while at sea.

                  Such a strange person, I’m not sure what point they’re arguing, but they’re definitely determined to argue it.

              spin it however you like, this statement:

              Like, are you imagining a modern US warship doesn’t have internet 24/7?

              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

                  What exactly are you on about? I honestly can’t tell what point you’re trying to argue.

      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.

      Someone is going to be court martialed over this.
