Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

One thing that stands out to me is that in all the videos I've seen, there was only one that didn't target the bridge. I haven't seen a single video of a ship sinking. I guess they're just trying to immobilize them to avoid environmental disasters? But where are all those hit ships now? Floating around aimlessly?
Its not easy to pierce a steel hull with a top down attack. Theyll burn and eventually founder, be towed back and rebuilt, or scrapped.
Don't ships have everything compartmentalized? If the bridge burns down, that fire shouldn't spread to the rest of the ship, right?
No. Ships do have fire ratings and strong doors, but they're not the steel hatches with dogs. The main deck exterior might have those hatches for weather, but upper decks and interiors have normal marine doors.
And there are a lot of void spaces and holes in bulkheads for stuff like HVAC, power, plumbing, etc. A fire can pass through those holes, or embers passed to the next room through HVAC, if it's not shut down.
It depends on the ship, the crew and the attack itself. Fire is an absolutely huge danger on a ship, which means there are lots of countermeasures prepared, but also that its still a huge danger, and not many civilian ships are built anticipating that the bridge might explode without warning.
Take that, orcs
It’s like shooting fish in a barrel, and i’m here for it.
I love this comment.
