It's big and clunky and a pain to use on a small project, but it is good for large projects where people can die if it doesn't work correctly. While I wouldn't use it for one of my personal quick-and-dirty projects, I have used it professionally and there are certain classes of errors that are common in C, but impossible in Ada.
I'm not sure about boats, but for long range airplanes over water, the two options are satcom or HF radio. The situation is probably similar for boats. There has been some work done reciently about HF data-links for airplanes.

Or at least they don't use Pascal. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this yet. Just a bunch of yunguns.

I heard a while ago that Fairchild and Honeywell were thinking of merging. The combined company would be called Fairwell Honeychild.
