US Navy Sends Email from Subs

from the cool dept

The US Navy has been experimenting with technologies that will allow submarines to send email even when they are submerged. This allows them to communicate without giving away their position (supposedly). The underwater modems work by sending the signal through the water to a relay buoy. They don't say anything about how easy or difficult it is to intercept the signal, though.
