Boom

Mate of mine used to be a submariner on a Trident boat and wangled a tour for a few mates including me.

The systems on those boats look like well maintained relics from the late 70s early 80s (probably because they are). I can't imagine there is much hacking that can be done without a screwdriver and a soldering iron.

My mate's work console had a worrying resemblance to Homer Simpson's station at the power-plant.

So no, not really worried about a v boat being hacked by hippies with iPads.
