minus-squareUngodlyAudrey🏳️⚧️@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoYeah, as soon as I saw the word “satellite”, I knew it was a nothingburger. If a submarine is on the surface, it isn’t trying to hide. If it’s submerged, it’s impossible for a satellite to detect it. You’d need sonar to pick it up.
