  • #3 Nortel Corporate Presentation © 2005 Nortel NORTEL SENSITIVE 2 nd Fleet HQ in Bldg. W-5 , 2 nd Fleet Flagship, USS Iwo Jima. Because of a smaller command ship, the leadership required a lighter foot print that provided collaborative capabilities for distributed staff. Voice was the primary medium needed to accomplish collaborative planning. COMSECONDFLT evaluated 3 vendors (e.g. Avaya, Cisco and Nortel), and Nortel was chosen for JITC requirements.
