What's a "corpen"?

In various naval-flavored technothrillers, I've seen "corpen" used to
refer to some sort of evolution -- like (I may be misremembering)
"Hotel Corpen" for flight quarters aboard a destroyer, or a ship
steaming in formation "corpening around" when turning. Could some
kindly shipdriving individual enlighten me?
