Anyone know what happened to that US Navy ship, I think it was the
Yorktown, that had all command and control run by NT, and had the nasty
habit of stopping dead in the water when an app through a divide by zero
at it?

They spent tens of millions on it, and I haven't seen anything on it in
years (1998 I think).  Did they mothball the sucker?  Maybe it was lost in
the Bermuda Triangle.  Or is it top secret now, for national security
reasons, so we can't laugh at the assholes?
