Fighter jets tend to run their own operating system, which is manufactured at the same time as the hardware is designed. Hand-tweaked binary operating system. However, the idea with boats is they'll keep floating even if it blue-screens -- jets tend to un-float.
I'll also point out that Windows NT has pulled whatever the highest security classification (class 7? class 5?) is for confidental work -- but they removed the entire networking stack (absolutely no networking functionality left in the OS). Since that ship is going to be networked by satellite link, it's eventually going to get hacked or crash.
