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".
