 Bullet points of A US Navy chief who wanted WiFi on her warship secretly ran an illegal Starlink network that she named 'STINKY': report
- Grisel Marrero installed a Starlink network on the USS Manchester and named it 'STINKY'.
- She lied to and misled her commanding officer at least three times when questioned about the network.
- Marrero paid for the $2,800 Starlink dish and kit with a personal credit card and was the network administrator.
- She and another chief installed the dish on the Manchester's weather deck during a blanket 'aloft' period when duties aren't recorded in the ship's logs.
- Marrero denied the existence of the WiFi network to junior sailors and commanding officers.
