First off, most Navy ships should have a backup to the backup steering system, which is manual and doesn’t need power. And an EMP burst will likely damage enough stuff / your engine to where it doesn’t work, and you’ll slow then drift, not just keep going.
But your article is ridiculous, the dude is going on about a conspiracy within a conspiracy (his words, not mine). I’d take that whore article with a pretty big grain of salt.
And what does an EMP have to do with GPS spoofing?
They've got the capability and we've got the capability.
Do you know about CHAMP and its capabilities ?
With an E.M.P. transmitter like WE HAVE on the CHAMP, there would NOT be an explosion, or a shock wave to cause such damage as you think that would happen.
What would happen is that many computer circuits would burn out within overload of static electricity.
"First off, most Navy ships should have a backup to the backup steering system, which is manual and doesn’t need power. "
And just HOW would such a system work, with all the force working against the rudder from water pressure of movement of such a heavy ship ?
Cables and gears, and wenches ... but turned BY WHAT ?
Motors without electric circuits ?
When's the last time the Navy even allowed such antiquated equipment on their ships ?
How many times a year do you think they even practice for such a situation ?
