What classification level is assigned to the Integrated Shipboard Network System (ISNS)?

The Integrated Shipboard Network System (ISNS) is classified as unclassified. This classification means that the information within the ISNS can be shared openly without compromising national security. The unclassified designation facilitates ease of communication, allowing for interoperability and coordination among different branches of the military and with allied forces, as well as ensuring that vital information can be accessible to those who need it in non-sensitive contexts.

Designating ISNS as unclassified supports operational efficiency while maintaining a level of transparency necessary for collaboration in joint military operations. The other classifications—Secret, Top Secret, and Confidential—are reserved for information that, if disclosed, could result in varying degrees of harm to national security, which does not apply to ISNS.
