Doesn't really change much.
You NEVER connect to sensitive resources via wifi. Different orgs and levels have different rules about whether a device capable of wifi can even be in the same room, but the key is to not connect it to the secure network. This is commonly referred to as "an airgap". And if you are wondering how different ships can communicate with each other and The US? Don't ask questions!
For less sensitive resources? YOLO that shit. But it is also incredibly trivial to set up a security model where users cannot connect to arbitrary networks.
So StinkyNet would, presumably, only be usable by personal devices. Which should have absolutely nothing sensitive on them to begin with. And if anything on any of the ship's sensitive networks was even able to connect to StinkyNet then... the Navy done fucked up.
Which... might explain the rapid action to punish those who violated policy.
