Navy officer lost job for secretly installing internet on warship to check social media (fortune.com)

A U.S. Navy chief who wanted the internet so she and other enlisted officers could scroll social media, check sports scores and watch movies while deployed had an unauthorized Starlink satellite dish installed on a warship and lied to her commanding officer to keep it secret, according to investigators.

Internet access is restricted while a ship is underway to maintain bandwidth for military operations and to protect against cybersecurity threats.

The Navy quietly relieved Grisel Marrero, a command senior chief of the littoral combat ship USS Manchester, in August or September 2023, and released information on parts of the investigation this week.

He doesn't. He may serve Russian interests at times, but he's not a direct report the way Tim Pool and many of our government elected officials are.

I thought Tim Pool was a victim?
