Original link: German Navy to replace aging 8-inch floppy drives with an emulated solution for its anti-submarine frigates / Tom's Hardware.
8 inch floppies should not have been used in ships from the mid 90's. And if for some reason they had, then they should have been replaced immediatetly (like late 90's).
I have used 8 inch floppies. In the late 80's. And they were already obsolete then.
