Tuuli - class hovercraft The Tuuli class combat hovercraft ( ACV ) is a type of vessel designed for the Finnish Navy . The Tuuli class was also previously known as the T - 2000 class . It takes its name from the decommissioned " Tuima " class ( modified Soviet OSA - II ) FNS " Tuuli " ( 14 ) missile boat . Its intended use was a mobile missile platform able to navigate and perform surprise attacks in the fractured archipelago of the northern Baltic sea . Since the surface often freezes over in the winter , parts of the archipelago cannot be navigated , and are accessible only by air or with a hovercraft . However , the focus of the Finnish navy was defined as long - term protection of merchant marine traffic , and missile boats with longer operating time were selected in Tuuli ' s stead . Only one Tuuli class vessel was built at the Aker Finnyards in Rauma , Finland , instead of four that were planned for the " Squadron 2000 " ( ) that the navy has been developing . Further building was cancelled in favour of the " Hamina " class missile boats . The design of the vessel involves technology transferred from the United States . It is constructed from welded panels of thin marine aluminium sheets and extrusions connected with light - weight composite constructions . The special features of the vessel are good mobility , independence of waterways and fixed port equipment , year - around operation and a small crew of only ten owing to the advanced technology . Tuuli was commissioned in 2000 . Her trial runs proved a success , and her specified capacity and maximum speed were exceeded . Fiscal reasons and doctrine change in the Navy spelled an end for the Squadron 2000 project . On December 19 , 2003 it was announced that Tuuli will not enter active service and it would be presented for sale . There has been foreign interest towards purchasing Tuuli , but no further details have been given . The vessel is being stored at Upinniemi . On 10 July 2013 , it was announced that " Tuuli " will be scrapped as no suitable buyer has been found .

Byeman Control System The BYEMAN Control System ( BCS ) , or simply BYEMAN ( designated BYE , or B ) , was a security control system put in place to protect information about the National Reconnaissance Office ( NRO ) and its operations . History . The BYEMAN Control System was put in place in 1961 by the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) . Discussions regarding BCS retirement were held as early as 2003 . DNRO Peter B . Teets spoke at a 2003 NRO Town Hall meeting , mentioning that retiring the BCS would remove barriers that prevented the NRO and U . S . Intelligence Community from working together as a team . The use of BCS was so prevalent throughout the U . S . Intelligence Community , that a handful of websites were set up to direct users through the retirement process . Origin of Name . An individual inside the CIA ' s Special Security Center chose the name from a random list of four words drawn from the CIA ' s codeword file . A " byeman " is a man who works underground ; it is unknown if the individual knew the word ' s meaning before its selection . Programs within BYEMAN . This is a small list of the publicly acknowledged programs that were held within the BCS : While many other NRO programs resided within the BCS , their codenames have not been made public through proper disclosure or official declassification . Retirement . By order of the Director of Central Intelligence ( DCI ) , BYEMAN was retired on 20 May 2005 . Most information held within the BCS was transitioned into the TALENT - KEYHOLE Control System . In popular culture . In the 1998 blockbuster movie " Armageddon " , a misspelling of the word , ( i . e . " BYMAN " ) is used on a cover sheet protecting photos of the incoming asteroid . ( the correct spelling , BYEMAN , was still classified " Confidential " at that time . )
