Navy officials said messages in all capital letters will become a thing of the past in August when the new system, the Command and Control Office Information Exchange, goes online.

McCarty said the new system will save money and be more efficient than the previous system. "The Navy gains significant cost efficiencies by eliminating the current Defense Message System infrastructure and simply using the existing email infrastructure for final delivery," he said. "By utilizing this methodology we will be able to send messages at 10 percent of the cost and size of current systems."
