I'm very new to GPS topics, but remembered reading that any plans for war included facilities to "scramble" GPS signals locally (sort of like an anti-WAAS signal).
I agree with what had been said earlier, if GPS is disabled, everything from cruise ships to UPS trucks would be affected.

Anyone hear about that?
