Despite delays and resistance, the controversial $8.8 billion Navy Marine Corps Intranet ―which is intended to connect the two services shore bases and link up with deployed ships at sea―is growing quickly, according to Navy Capt. Chris Christopher, NMCI staff director. NMCI is an integrated computer network that will replace approximately 1,000 systems currently operating throughout the Navy Department, he told National Defense. In doing so, he said, the intranet will provide increased security, worldwide accessibility and interoperability with other services. As of mid-September, more than 100,000 Navy computers were operating in NMCI, Christopher said. "We anticipate that doubling within the next couple of months." Acting Navy Secretary Hansfbrd T. Johnson and his staff joined the system in August. The Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., along with its tenant commands, began the transition to NMCI last spring. The first Marine computers were scheduled to come aboard in October, Christopher said.

Johnson）及其工作人员于8月加入该系统。弗吉尼亚州Quantico海军陆战队基地及其租户命令于去年春天开始过渡到NMCI。克里斯托弗说，第一批船用计算机计划于十月上市。
