Marco ... Polo

You can't make a ship stealthy enough if it tells an enemy where it is.

This author describes how to hack a warship. These are theoretical and not based on close knowledge of a warships actual systems. But I worry that he has a point that simply saying it isn't possible is dangerously narrow minded.

Is my longstanding fear about self-targeting warships really so off base when you consider that a hack might get one of a systems on a warship to broadcast the location of the ship to those who know what to look for?

We spend a lot of time wondering about how to defend our ships by breaking a long and complicated enemy kill chain from detection to impact.

What if an enemy doesn't play that game?
