Does anyone know what Grumman and the Naval Oceanographic and Atmospheric
Research Laboratory are planning?  I just saw an announcement in
Information Week that an 11 year contract (!) which could be worth
as much as $204M (!)  was awarded to Grumman to supply NOARL 
"with a supercomputer that will be used to preduct the behavior
of the oceans and the atmosphere", and $41M will be used
"...for Grumman to assemble the supercomputer."


As always, I am sure the reality is rather more complex than a summary
of a press release, but, I am surprised that I haven't heard of this
before.  Does anyone have the details?
