Not just on base. I had a conversation with a three star general. He remarked that while our warships had separate software and hardware for systems and fire control, the rest of of the ship’s IT ran on Windows. Supposedly, there was no connection between the two, but LOL.

Why LOL? These are separate systems/networks. Even warships need boring admin things like email, internet, identity management, etc. Plus the systems that go on these ships are heavily customized not just straight out of the box.
