A US Navy command senior chief was demoted for conspiring with other Navy chiefs to install an illegal WiFi network on a warship that they used to check sports scores and watch TV shows.
Grisel Marrero, a senior enlisted Navy officer, reportedly installed a Starlink network on the USS Manchester called "STINKY."
The command senior chief installed and operated the unauthorized network during a deployment in 2023. She charged the $1,000-a-month cost of the network to a leadership association debit card.
