Those repeaterless submarine optical systems are really impacted by
terrestrial rf transmission...

Ok, I'm confused here, did we get one of our Aegis missile cruisers

Well-known problem with radars and wifi (used to live next to a
(military) radar research site):

Another reason to not rely on radio for your LAN/WAN in times of Aegis
cruisers passing by... :wink:
