I'm wondering how wifi worked at all. Aren't navy ships like pure steel? How did the wifi signal get through all that?
In the navytimes article, they said some of the Cheif's Mess installed a bunch of wired 'repeaters' all over the ship (probably wireless access points and not repeaters though).
No.
These are aluminum.
Similarly the antenna was mounted on the tower above decks like the rest of the communication equipment.
There will be more than a firing, chiefs arent often walking the ropes near the antennas so there has to be accomplices and they're almost certainly going to be charged with a national security violation since starlink has two way com and thusly Elon likely knew it's location at all times.
Ed: to be clear they ended up being some of the worst ships America had ever produced.
