And not forgetting that the facility can also be used to disseminate misinformation.

It is said in the taverns that the ships of the Royal Navy can often be seen with the naked eye. It is also said that they occasionally come close enough to land for a person to walk aboard using only a short and flimsy plank of wood!

They've got up a real fancy widget that allows you to see where their ships are real time on a map.
You can view by ship to see what they're doing, where they are etc. E.g The HMS York is doing 'Training'. Clicking a link for "locate HMS York on a map" It pulls up a map with a blip on it.

This is all very well and good, and its nice to see where everything is on a world view, but the other part of me thinks - holy f* are you crazy?? Surely this renders all the adverts about Per Sec and not updating on facebook etc completely redundant, if you're going to post to the world where everything is and what they're doing? Though no nuclear subs fortunately...

This sort of info would count as Op-sec.

Whoops, just had a pedantic moment there...

LOOK-LOOK its captain Blackbeard waving at me.

Usually lying on a sandbank just off the coast of Scotland.

Luckily, I read down to your post as I was about to make a similar comment on Triggers Intsum.
