Depends on which war it was

Please try not using initialisms that a general audience won't know. That's why i had to look up the previous one and quoted the info so other people wouldn't have to look it up also. USV doesn't even show up in a googling

EDIT

I found it, USV means a drone boat

"A close-in weapon system (CIWS) is a point-defense weapon system for detecting and destroying short-range incoming missiles and enemy aircraft which have penetrated the outer defenses, typically mounted on a naval ship. Nearly all classes of larger modern warships are equipped with some kind of CIWS device."

I'm sure you're not nearly as loathe as you think.

I'm sure you like being able to plug any device into any power outlet and have it work correctly and safely every time without even having to think about it.

I'm sure you like being able to use your cell phone and wifi without it being an unusable mess of different technologies all trying to use the same frequencies.

Etc. Etc. Etc.

When an aspect of technology becomes far reaching enough that it effects essentially everyone and every device, and there are far reaching consequences to it not being interoperable, then that's exactly the type of situation where it's good for government to work with experts in the field and decide on an official enforced standard

That makes no sense. Why would the military guy go along with that plan, and then after being caught as planned he then suddenly tells the world about the plan?

This is a dumb plan that will likely get you arrested for arson and insurance fraud

Imagine after an invasion of England someone said to him "you should rethink your goal of trying to reclaim London and Yorkshire"

You can bookmark a whole window full of tabs all into a single bookmark folder. It's called "bookmark all tabs" or something like that. Then later you can open all of them again into a new window using a single button again.

I know the average person isn't tech savvy, but this loss is almost entirely on themself. If you have 7000 tabs open and it's important to you that they stay saved, then it's on you to simply ASK someone if keeping them open is an ok way to do it

I think it's great that this has been captioned so deaf people can appreciate it too
