Doesn’t mean it was, but these days someone can hack you toaster.

Fitzgerald was 730 feet, just as heavy and only had a crew of 29, built in '58.


There's computerization - sure. But you also mentioned something rather important - is propulsion connected to the internet? and can you even get a signal buried under 100k tons of steel and 9k TEUs on deck and does it make sense to do that attack at 1am when it's LEAST likely to create loss of life?

Like I said - boat guys here are saying - nope.
