Just like with the reimagined TV show Battlestar Galactica, where the captain (Edward James Olmos) demanded that the Galactica remain "old style" in their communications and computers to prevent the Cylons from hacking into their systems.

Will our Navy go back to semaphores, with the vulnerability being that they have to remain in visual range of each other?

“Will our Navy go back to semaphores, with the vulnerability being that they have to remain in visual range of each other? “

See my #15.

Noting, that if the US Battle Group.fleet loses all form of electronic communications their only hope is to retreat and run for home.

But that will not happen, even though they train for it.

Remember, they shoot back and they are very, very, very good at that.

The US navy could defeat all the world’s navies, combined.

In the same month.

Sure, they’d need a little help from the US Air Force, but what are buddies for?

Wig-wagging is still practiced and used.
