#1 I don't think anyone has a means of tracking vessels in real time using satellites. If we did, Somali piracy wouldn't be a problem. This is probably a case of the relevant contractor over-promising in hopes of some blue sky breakthrough to secure project funding today.

#3 Rejecting the hyperlink. There are a number of Sat maritime tracking systems available. You can track by ship type and name on-line.

#8 Yeah, I think US aircraft carriers will not operate transponders when they are trying to hide.

Thank you. I wondering about that for a while. I knew that real-time tracking of military vessels did not exist, but couldn't figure out how they were tracking civilian vessels in the way Besoeker mentioned.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
