The US Navy, through the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), has implemented a high-speed internet system for its surface warships using satellites from Starlink, operated by SpaceX. Dubbed Satellite Terminal (transportable) Non-Geostationary (STtNG), it provides sailors with secure access to low-orbit satellites for improved communication. This system can boost internet speeds to 1 gigabit per second, enhancing morale by allowing sailors to stay connected with family and to stream media content like the Super Bowl. Initial press release inaccuracies led to a retraction by NAVWAR.
