You would have thought that they would have learned the first time. Remember back in 1997 when the Navy forced a contractor to use an OS from Microsoft. The Navy war games in 1997 brought whole new meaning to the common expressions "Blue Screen of Death" and "Dead in the Water".

It's obvious from this article on Wikipedia that, with more then one Admiral's career on the line, the Navy forced its contractors to do a Galileo retraction.
