No, the sole purpose was to create a code that the Japanese could not break. Once WW2 ended there was no further use for it.
The Japanese were very good at breaking our codes, but when you used a "book code" with words of another language that they did not know it stymied them. The Navajo Code Talkers did not speak ordinary Navajo in their messages, they translated the messages to Navajo then encoded it using the memorized "book code" and spoke those Navajo words. Even when the Japanese had captured Navajo soldiers (who of course had no code talking training), they could recognize the words but the message was gibberish.

What do Navajo live in in the winter?
Hogans are what traditional Navajo homes are called. In Navajo they are spelled hooghan. They all face east, most are six or eight-sided or round. These kind are called "female" hogan. They were usually made with logs and the roof of logs or the whole building was covered with earth for insulation. The "male" ones are very rare today and have a pointed top more like a small tepee of logs covered with dirt. Today, some Navajo still have hogans, mostly for ceremonies but some are still lived in. Most people lived in regular US style homes or in mobile homes. There are 300,000 Navajo and they are very individualistic so there is a lot of variation.
