This story is insane. A US Navy chief:

* Purchased a Starlink system
* Installed it on an active USN ship
* Did not hide the WiFi SSID
* Named the network "STINKY"
* Lied about it to their superior
* Changed the WiFi name to make it look like a printer
* Lied about it to their superior AGAIN
* Misled inferiors to think the network was approved by the Commander
* Was only caught by a civilian information systems technician *months* later

@brunoph Wow. That's insane. You're in a boat that's a target and you're shining a giant target on yourself. Absolutely nuts.
