Just a week or so back on The Great Ships (on the History Channel) a feature
on modern naval vessels mentioned that online storage of information has
been a key contributor to improving ship performance. The weight of the
documentation needed for day to day shipboard operations for a modern
aircraft carrier exceeded 40 tons and because of how ships are designed and
configured most of that had to be stored above the waterline!
