The Navy people I've met who are "against Ada" just don't want to rewrite existing systems from scratch. Tuttle, on the other hand, wants to rewrite them in C, which would be in many ways a backwards step from CMS-2. And I believe he said last year that he wanted to junk all the existing embedded systems hardware and recode everything to use commercial computers. So he's made this sort of statement before.
