USS Manchester had a totally unauthorized Starlink satellite internet antenna installed on top of the ship by its gold crew’s chiefs.

It was all so that the chiefs on the ship could check sports scores, text home, and stream movies.

The chiefs’ Starlink network was “a direct violation of emissions control regulations on board a ship,” retired Navy captain and Senior Fellow at the Sagamore Institute said.

Having a clandestine communications system onboard could have served as a beacon for adversary signals intelligence collectors.

The Navy 's SEA2 program is a step in that direction.

It provides internet services transferring several terabytes of data that helped the Lincoln order spare parts and manage maintenance.

It also allowed sailors to watch the Super Bowl via live stream.

As of June , the Navy had not authorized SEA2 for use with classified data.
