I'd think the Navy would either go with a BSD variant (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc.), a BSD-Like Linux (Gentoo, Slack) or with a proprietary system (QNX?, Plan 9?)
I would have recommended SCO except that Caldera is screwing that up now.
Not that I don't think Linux is up to the task in general, or embedded Linux in particular.
In fact, in the old License Agreement for Win 3.1 I remember reading a line about how Windows should never be used for mission critical deployments.

Yeah, for whatever reason, SCO Open Server is considered a mature product, and no further upgrades will be created. So, the upper file limit size it will handle is 2 gigabyte. Unixware 7 is pretty good, it does some slick stuff when it comes to WAN and network printing, but I think Caldera is screwing that up too.
