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.
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.

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
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:
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.
Are you ever not a dickhead?

Someone is going to be court martialed over this.
