Not actually, Dan.
Yes, of course, there are still messages drafted by humans and read by human
eyes, but human-readable traffic comprises only a minor share of the
communications load.
Most of the "activity" on modern Navy communications channels is data
streams between "machines" --- google "Aegis" --- then imagine that system
integrated across an entire battle group where several ships (and their
aircraft) share all threat, targeting, countermeasures, and weapon response
data in real time, untouched by human "operators".
