I use Pettit Trinidad Pro on my hull. Spiffy clean!
But there is more to this. The lack of fouling on the top surfaces suggests it doesn't submerge very often. Which perhaps tells a story of whether it's in use at all.

If you're right about this, it's shocking that IT troops aren't as well limited by password-level to access. My company has password-level protocols which restrict me from seeing stuff. The military should have such minimal safeguards in place as well.

The fouling abottom says exactly that too. This is a boat which has swayed portside, on the surface, for a while, without any overhaul, for a long time.

Absolutely! Where was the need to know? Why was this sensitive intelligence accessible to an organization so far down the chain as the National Guard anyway? Heads need to roll in Washington, too. Incompetence is bad enough but when combined with malice, things are getting dangerous.

The problem is that if one of the users has a problem with a file or in a location that the sys admin can't reach, then the problem can't be fixed. Now, one would have thought that there were procedures in place to at least flag unusual activity like an IT specialist printing off lots of pages....so there were clearly flaws in how security was handled at the unit.
He was serving at an ANG Intelligence Squadron. I imagine those units may be involved in actual intel support to forward-deployed forces simply because it's tough to train on intel using fake data. If that's the case, then his unit would have had access to all sorts of material. The question remains how he was able to liberate it so easily and without anyone noticing (e.g. checking print logs etc).
I must stress I have no knowledge of the actual situation here but I have heard of Guard units providing forward support to the regular military. Just wondering if that's the case here?

"This is a disgusting practice". Yeah I guess it's disgusting for Russian soldiers. How dare Ukrainians defend themselves.

Security at bases are usually pretty good and failure to follow rules can get you fired. I had a channel diagnostic diskette in a back pocket of a tool bag I had, I forgot i had it. Well security missed it on the way in and caught it on the way out. I had to hand it over so they could scan it and was reprimanded, the security gal was escorted away. Felt bad for her as it was my mistake but she failed also. That guy should be made an example of.As I was a contractor I had high level clearance, doesn't matter what unit etc your in, the background checks are very thorough and your level is based on what the job requirement is.

From Reuters:
NEAR BAKHMUT, Ukraine April 14 (Reuters) - Ukrainian troops have been forced to withdraw from some parts of Bakhmut in the face of a renewed Russian assault on the ruined battlefield city, Britain said on Friday, with Moscow pressing to achieve a victory before Ukraine's expected counteroffensive.
Ukrainian officials say Russia has been drawing down troops from other areas on the front for a major push on Bakhmut, which Moscow has been trying to capture for nine months to reenergize the all-out invasion it launched more than a year ago.
Western countries have in the past pointed to acrimony between the Russian defence ministry (MoD) and the country's main mercenary force Wagner as a major Russian weakness.
"Russia has re-energised its assault on the Donetsk Oblast town of Bakhmut as forces of the Russian MoD and Wagner Group have improved co-operation," Britain's military said in a daily briefing note.
"Ukrainian forces face significant resupply issues but have made orderly withdrawals from the positions they have been forced to concede," it said.
[...]
Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said Russian commanders had redirected troops to Bakhmut from other areas.
"The enemy is using its most professional units there and resorting to a significant amount of artillery and aviation," she wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
"Every day, the enemy carries out in Bakhmut from 40 to 50 storming operations and 500 shelling episodes."
The British update said the Ukrainians still held western districts of the town but had been subjected to particularly intense Russian artillery fire over the previous 48 hours.
Wagner mercenary units were now focusing on advancing in the centre of Bakhmut, while Russian paratroopers were relieving them in attacks on the city's flanks, it said.
The Institute for the Study of War think tank said geolocated footage indicated that Russian forces had advanced further west into central Bakhmut the previous day and made "marginal advances" in the south and southwest of the city.

The pros and cons of Russia using older MBTs:

The Russians Aren’t Just Running Out Of Tanks—They’re Running Out Of Tank Crews, Too. And It’s Going To Get Worse.
It’s possible thousands of experienced Russian tankers have died in the wider war; replacing them might be as difficult as replacing their tanks is.

This:
The first could easily be read as:
The larger picture is, that while Russia is thinning it's forces along it's front in order to feed the meat-grinder, it's allowing Ukraine to build up it's forces as well as opening the door for Ukraine to strike weakened lines elsewhere on the front.

Just like the last counter offensive where Ukraine took so much back.

If you take a map of Stalingrad at the start of the Soviet's Operation Uranus/Mars and flip it over, it will look remarkably like today's current lines at Bakhmut.

Yes, but that doesn't preclude Beijing "gifting" arms to one of the combatants.
Forgive my lack of trust but I find the semantic twisting of language by politicians, in general, to be incredibly frustrating.
