Sounds a little more familiar, I am pretty sure that it was a destroyer.  I
think I may have to do some investigating:)

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.
