The article is going on about how it's unimaginable to be running Windows in that environment, but I recall a few instances of military vessels running Windows in previous years/decades. Some report of US submarine(s) being dead in the water whenever NT crashes, a cruiser losing propulsion due to Windows crash, etc. I think running Windows on subs is not that uncommon.
The funny thing is that I think everyone here could have predicted those outcomes, i.e. blue screen of death and in-operational craft. You wonder what it is like to work in an environment where the obvious is not allowed to be taken into account or ignored when you build systems.
