      What?

      Surface ships are in constant communication with stuff…

      You can’t just find a signal in the middle of the ocean. Musk can find a starlink signal tho, because he can see what Starlink connects to and it’s gps location.

        Yeah but if they go on mission and “go dark” then you still have this starlink thing that may or may not be disabled by the person smuggling it on board. It may also be connected to official things if the owner has bad intentions, or if someone else who does finds it and co-opts it.

        There is a lot that could go wrong with unauthorized radio transmission equipment on a warship, and not all of it is obvious.
