  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?

      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.

    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.

    We need to insert egregiously wrong Russian hardware into War Thunder so the real specs will be leaked

    Next up: somebody installs unauthorized Starlink on warship so they can play War Thunder on deployment.

      I’m not convinced that’s not exactly what this particular starlink device was for
