Being female has nothing to do with it. There were other Chiefs involved too. The breach in discipline and character is alarming. A whole level of senior enlisted leadership is compromised. How did that happen? How far has this breach spread?

I've been doing maritime Starlink installs for a while now

Several of Starlinks primary operational frequency bands are in the same range as X and S band radar.

The Starlink MES is a directional transmitter using beam steering, and most likely transmissions will look indistinguishable from S/X band radar unless you're directly intercepting the transmission beam

This is one of the reasons we have a minimum safe distance and angle envelope while deploying starlink near the radar mast

There are a bazillion other signatures someone could snoop for indicating there is a USN ship in the vicinity including the known Link-16 bands

I'm not saying it isn't dumb to throw your own personal Starlink on a USN ship, but the freakout over it magically advertising the ships very existence is a little over the top


If you need to go EM dark you can do so and follow your EMCON protocols. I'm pretty sure her starlink isn't part of those protocols.

I'm having a bit of trouble looking at that picture and a few others I've found getting a feel for the location.  My ETC, eventually ET1, would have had fits if he'd seen that.  He was somewhere on the spectrum and not popular because his social and crew member skills were almost non-existent but he'd have gone goofy over the various electronic issues, grounding, bonding, potential interference, security.  He'd have had a stroke.  But he'd have told me.  It doesn't look like an area usually manned.  But still close to areas maintained and operated by probably Ops and Weaps personnel.  There are a range of antennas and signal flag lines, etc., there.  They've changed ratings around but my (then) EWs would have been aware of it as would my comms ETs as they would be maintaining gear in the area.  Any visit to a shipyard with maintenance or repair on anything in the area would give it away.

It’s the repeated lying and covering up that’s the problem. It’s more palatable that dumbass E-3 would pull some shady shit and attempt to cover their tracks but senior enlisted, E-6 and above for sure, along with any commissioned officers who pull shit like that and lie when caught are beyond being redeemable and are untrustworthy and should immediately be  escorted off the ship and right the fuck out of the military. Her DEI status is what probably saved her from what anyone else who has a Y chromosome, is straight and is pigment challenged would get if they’d done the same thing. What a disgrace to my old Navy to keep shitbirds like her around.

A more interesting question is why it took that look to get noticed?  Most average level corporate IT departments periodically scan for, or the automatically get reports, on rogue wifi.  You'd think that would be even easier at sea.

Wasn't just them. US assets got located with a fitness tracking program too.

Because, that's the military. Someone told them to not do that, so there was no reason to look for it, because that's how it works.

Yes and no

They currently emit, if there are indication and warning of war with a peer advisory, they go to receive only. Non-terrestrial ISR makes hiding harder but with the vastness of the Pacific the primary cueing to look at an area is electronic emissions

My first cruise in 94 we had things old school. Letters with a 2 week delivery time. International calls when we hit a port.
2nd cruise in 96, ATT came and installed sat based pay phones at $5 a minute. 2 phones for about 5000 people. The khakis had their own phone so they didnt have to wait as much.
We also got this newfangled thing called email. Most of my shop was clueless how that worked. Being a nerd with BBS experience I jumped on that immediately. It was censored but way more convenient than snail mail.

Basically all lower enlisted sailors are up to some shenanigans or another.
Upper enlisted folks were once lower enlisted folks who never got caught By the time you hit CPO, you're either really good at it, or mostly knocked it off. It's about a 50/50 split.

I'm guessing she lied to most the rest of the Mess about it being approved, which is why they played along with it.
