I remember a thread some years back about the USN adopting Windows for

How did it get on with that?
Here is a reply to an article about IBM collaborating with Open Office
over their Lotus App.
"The US Navy uses it so ships can share info among themselves without
use of radio. And since the design also replicates, when a ship once
reported an error, the bug fix was pushed to all ships within a few
hours - even the ones which were weeks away from a return to port. Few
app environments can do this."

I'd always thought this sort of stuff would take place on a very
secret and limited, need to know unshared and unrevealable code. You
know the sort of stuff:
"Top Secret."
The navy does all sort of bizzarre things with unused bandwidth,
so whether the same software is even used on the next deployment
is also open.
