Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OT RE: 24 x 7 on NT?
I think it was the Navy.
The US Coast Guard has something called USCG SW-III (Standard Workstation III) that is NT 4.0 on Unisys. If you have ever worked at the Coast Guard, you know these boxes are EVERYWHERE. Some people even have two. They are highly standardized, well above average in MTBF and MTTR, and the Coast Guard runs on them.
I ::think:: (but could easily be wrong) that the Navy was trying to integrate an NT box with a disparate realtime targeting system and when the NT box GPF'ed, it downed the targeting radar. Prudence dictated the ship head back to port for repairs, radar being directly related to a destroyers seaworthiness.
But, again, this could be WAY WRONG, so two grains of salt, ok guys?

Hahah, the software, the ship had to be towed back to port:) However, not
sure if it was the coast guard or the navy, but I am going with the coast
guard.

On one of their newer ships they were using NT, and it froze up a couple of times.

The Coast guard uses Unisys, too...but i don't know where NT fits in to their front line systems.
