  I don't know why the age of the article is reducing your fear. If anything they probably do more and more this.

  And the OS is out of service (thank god :)) but the submarines running it aren't (oops)

  I guess that they can think about upgrading from XP right now.

  Yes it is. I found this link when I googled 'Windows for Submarines' when I read about it in Eric Schlosser's New Yorker essay "World War Three, by Mistake" which was featured earlier on HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13249976 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13249976

  Do not assume technology has been rolled out just because an article was a while ago. The military deals with just upgrading a version number of software very seriously and it takes years to happen. I can personally attest to Windows being installed on computers emulating a submarine environment. (it was probably XP)
