If this was a bunch of junior enlisted, I’d be impressed at their ingenuity, and they’d probably get a slap on the wrist for doing the dumb things that nineteen year olds are expected to get caught for.

I can’t imagine the entire senior enlisted crew of a shop risking their careers over better internet access, though. I doubt many captains would have either, though, so I wonder if this presages an imminent crisis of confidence in senior enlisted by senior officers.

Given how easy it is to deploy Starlink, I am actually surprised this is the first time this has been tried. Or perhaps this is the first time it came out publicly.

Yeah, if it was actual spies or junior enlisted, I doubt we’d hear about it, so this may not be the first time.

For a captain not to be able to trust his senior chiefs is what’s most scary here.
