A Navy boss took doomscrolling to a whole new level when she covertly put a satellite dish on the boat she was in control of.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choice was taken in secrecy so that she and her crew could’scroll social media’, but it eventually ended her military career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An investigation into the discharge of USS Manchester’s command senior chief, Grisel Marrero, has uncovered the reason for her demotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’d be hard-pressed to get a signal when cruising the oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving sailors spend weeks, months, or even years at a time floating onboard their ship deep at sea, so they aren’t kept up to date on the outside world, football scores, how their families are doing, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you can understand why Marrero chose to install WiFi on her ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it comes at the expense of the ship’s safety, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason warships are not planned or built with satellites on board is to prevent cyber attacks from jeopardizing the crew’s mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April of last year, Marrero and more than a dozen chief petty officers paid $2,800 each to install the Starlink High Performance Kit, which SpaceX designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starlink’s High Performance Kit is designed to provide high-speed, low-latency internet while in motion. It has a broad field of view and improved GPS capabilities, ensuring reliable connectivity on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the inquiry, they appear to have purchased the best satellite money could buy.<\/p>\n\n\n

They then decided to discreetly put it on the ship before it left San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior officers could then communicate with their pals, but only in specific areas of the vessel, which wasn’t enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marrero and her team purchased signal enhancers and deployed them around the ship during their visit to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how could they get away with it when you could see the WiFi on your phone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So they disguised it as a printer and set up payment plans through the chief’s mess to fund it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marrero was dismissed of her duty after being caught lying to her superior officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was demoted to chief petty officer in March after pleading guilty to making false official statements to superiors during her trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
