Collision Avoidance at Sea

[Klaveness]

@Jughead

Where have I ever stated that?

I was thinking about this bit:

@Jughead

Just a reminder, navies train for war all the time and transmitting on radar, AIS, VHF, sonar, echo sounders and other means can at times tell the enemy not only that we are there, but positions, courses and speeds, the type of ships, force composition, and other things whilst detracting from our ability to passively detect the enemy doing any of those things.

Just to blow your mind, we also turn off navigation lights or rig deceptive lighting to look like something other than the reality. We even sneak up alongside merchant ships and try to blend into their radar echo.

If you want a Navy that can win wars, simply be aware we don’t always blindly play by these COLREG rules.

I realize now that this thread got split off that one. Please excuse my confusion.

@Jughead

accusing me

What? I was talking about your views, as espoused by yourself, without as much as detailing my interpretation of what they might be. How in the world could that be viewed as accusatory?
