I have not submitted this article... I submitted https://hackaday.com/2025/06/10/is-the-atomic-outboard-an-id... , "Is The Atomic Outboard An Idea Whose Time Has Come?", which discusses the general idea also in view of environmental goals.

The article which is now presented as submission is linked by the one I proposed.

Something strange happened...

Looks like a mod changed the URL in keeping with this guideline from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:

"Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter."

But that is not really the original source... Only related. It's a different piece.

In case, can you delete the submission? Thanks.

More openly, there has been an "improper attribution of speech": my intention was towards the suggestion about the use of similar technologies for civilian use, whereas the linked (replacement) article is criticism towards a specific implementation for military use.

The submission as it is now is "not what I meant"...
