A recent investigation by the US Navy has revealed that senior enlisted personnel on the USS Manchester, including a Navy chief, installed an unauthorized Starlink Wi-Fi network on the ship. The illegal network, humorously named 'STINKY,' was set up to allow crew members to check sports scores, text home, and stream movies. This unauthorized setup endangered the ship, according to the scathing Navy report.
