While there are satellite broadband systems, you'll never get it working aboard a Navy ship. They'll never allow you to bring the gear aboard in the first place.

Shipboard satellite broadband systems cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for the equipment and thousands of dollars a month for access. The systems use a fairly large satellite dish with geo-tracking systems to stay pointed at the statellite while the ship us under way. It's NOT a card that you can slip into a laptop!

The Navy does offer shipboard distance learning systems. You'll have to transfer to one of the schools that offer those services through the Navy. You won't be able to participate while you're in basic training, and probably not while in technical school either or for the first few months of your first duty assignment as you go through on-the-job training. Once that's out of the way you can sign up and get going on the college again.

Good luck!

You could ask your Verizon Card provider if it's EvDO and Wi MAX enabled.

However, the signals are only 31 miles radius reach; so the chances of you getting them on board the ship are very little.

Besides it costs $80 [USD] per month.

maybe somewhere in the future. Since laptop now only got wi-fi feature, so satellite is hard to get the line. U can also use GPRS O 3G SERVICE to make phone as modem.
