Though there aren't a lot of journalists so percentages have got to be high. I bet there are more miners or construction workers or oil rig crews than journos.

It's been hours since a vessel above 10000 t has caught fire, we're definetly overdue. It's really too bad Ukraine didn't get any major vessels post USSR they would be sitting ducks if Ukraine had a couple of fast well maintained destroyers. The Russian navy can't go past 15 knots. Some good old fashioned main gun duels.

It's all for clicks. Phys.org is a great news site. Obviously geared towards physics news but they have a big astronomy and space exploration section with some great writers that usually have STEM education. And they also cover all the sciences, you have a chemistry section, bio etc... but focus on physics. So a great place to get your JWST and CERNor LIGO news without clickbait. And they do magical stuff like publish corrections for articles if something was wrong.

Oh good. I hate these articles. They could have also wrote JWST performing above expectstions despite early bad luck with micrometeroids but who clicks on that... well I do but I'm a nerd.

Sure they just did something similar with a surface drone. Long range propulsion is tough for a torpedo though, unless it's just below the surface and has snorkel like WWII U-boats to power a diesel.
Normal torpedoes don't have hundreds of km range, maybe a few dozen.

Would be kind of a suicide mission but they could charge into Sevastapol with a torpedo boat.

I do mean proper journalists, not talking heads and all that. The ones who do the work that is then ripped off by 5k clickbait sites and badly misquoted. News hosts can be journalists and often are former ones but often not.
