Tangentially related, I am reminded of this quote from the fun-yet-silly film "Broken Arrow" (1996):
Giles Prentice: A Broken what?
Secretary Baird: Broken Arrow. It's a Class 4 Strategic Theatre Emergency. It's what we call it when we lose a nuclear weapon.
Giles Prentice: I don't know what's scarier, losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it.

"I don't know what's scarier, losing nuclear weapons or not being prepared enough for the situation that you don't have a code name and plans for the situation and you are risking operational security by transmitting the issue in the clear."
