One of my most gratifying projects when I worked for a major Defense Contractor was one that saw us instrumental in building a capability on an Italian Navy ship for the Italians, to be operated by the Italians, just listening to whatever was being transmitted via electromagnetic waves.  I am not at liberty to divulge details, but one of the key factors in doing so is that an Italian Navy ship can go places US Navy ships are not welcome.  The Med is a relatively small pond and, while it has been 10 years since I worked that project, I am convinced that our little ship has been instrumental in feeding vital information to decision makers. 

BTW, just about everything about that project was handled as unclassified information but I won't replicate their stupidity here.
