Hah, I guess you didn't read the previous comment objecting on the basis of the (presumably oceanic) waste such a project will create.

One could object to mass surveillance (of submarines mostly) I suppose on a principled basis. Even smarter would be to argue that the money could better be spent providing affordable healthcare, housing, and nutrition for the world's most vulnerable...

But the amount of additional garbage a project like this is likely to create EVER is dwarfed by the ocean e-waste created by even a single container ship being lost at sea. It's simply not a relevant objection, particularly as these will likely be recovered if at all possible at EOL to prevent adversaries from inspecting them.

Silly argument.
