minus-square UngodlyAudrey🏳️⚧️ ( @UngodlyAudrey@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink1•1 day 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.
