The US Navy experimented with high-speed internet on its surface warships via the SEA2 initiative and Starlink network provided by SpaceX. A press release was deleted due to inaccuracies regarding the installation on the USS Abraham Lincoln. The system aims to offer a median connection of 30-50 Mbps, scalable to 1 Gbps, improving the morale of sailors by enabling communication with family and access to streaming services like the Super Bowl broadcast. The deployment comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East and represents a shift from traditional, slower satellite connections to a more advanced and reliable internet access solution.
