As a counterpoint, NRL is not strictly held to NMCI requirements
and does use quite a few Macs, both as scientific systems and as
desktop machines. NRL is not a typical Navy installation though.
I have noticed that research groups in the DOD tend to lean much more
heavily towards Macs than the general DOD population. DARPA, their
contractors and researchers are a good example of this.
As a security researcher for the DOD and IC communities I have always
been frustrated by their statements that computer security is
critical to them, but then they run their operations on the most
vulnerable platform available, using the most vulnerable applications
on that platform, and no one even collects audit trails.
Sigh...
