Adding to the sub post links that weren't provided beforehand in last bread, my bad:

Gets the noodle going… N_A could just park the sub on a cable and get all the info they want… hmmmm
We should also be questioning why [submarine] related movies are suddenly so popular ((((programming))))?

This turned up on researching [submarines] in the Puget Sound, and other Sound happenings.
"SATCOM vulnerabilities a concern
Embedded systems play a key role in the Navy’s ongoing shipboard and sub upgrades, but if not properly secured, they can also be a weakness…
Back in 2014, Ruben Santamarta, principal security consultant for security firm IOActive Inc. (Seattle, Washington), warned of major satellite communication and operating system (SATCOM) equipment vulnerabilities….
Now, four years later, he’s demonstrated that the weak security posture of satellite communications products is making hundreds of in-flight aircraft, military bases, and maritime vessels accessible through vulnerable SATCOM infrastructure….
At Black Hat USA 2018 and DEF CON 26, Santamarta described the consequences of these vulnerabilities as “shocking.” The theoretical cases he developed four years ago are no longer theoretical: He publicly demonstrated taking control, from the ground and through the internet, of SATCOM equipment running on an actual aircraft.
Santamarta tested other devices in his latest research (https://ioactive.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/us-18-Santamarta-Last-Call-For-Satcom-Security-wp.pdf) and examined attacks using SATCOM antennas…
He found that several of the largest airlines in the U.S. and Europe had their entire fleets accessible from the internet with thousands of connections exposed. Maritime vessels around the world were also at risk of attack, because their SATCOM antennas can be used to expose the crew to RF radiation. Essentially, Santamarta concluded, it’s possible to turn SATCOM devices into tools to cause radiation hazards and disrupt RF transmissions."

Side task: Compiling list of "training accidents" of military aircraft in recent years. I recall many targeting Marines, suspicious now that Q posts this.
