Though there are different meanings, the one it's most associated with is a black ops agent riding onboard a Navy vessel (CIA, Navy Intelligence, Crypto Analysts, etc.). This was very common in the Cold War where Intel riders were aboard when operations involved Soviet military monitoring. The more common term is "Spook".
