It is the same reason to have a "standard" anything. For designers, they can design items to have standard components inserted into them. It allows interchangeability. A replacement part number blah-blah-blah will ALWAYS be part number blah-blah-blah and the tech will know it will work and how to install it. As far as the communicating part is concerned, for encryption at least, device A can only send secure signals which can be recieved by device B if it is a standardized, uniform form of encryption. If one item uses say a 32 bit encryption key and another uses a 64 bit key, one cannot decipher signals from the other. There are also standard forms for certain message types. Instead of saying and explaining what each bit of information is, one can transmit say a SITREP message by only saying the items in correct order that a SITREP contains. It's a standard form that includes a set amount of pieces of information and everyone knows [because of the standard format established] what each item of information means.

i work for a government telecommunications company here in the philippines. and one of our projects was to provide telecom system for coastal services. take note that at sea, the only possible communication link would be the ship's communication system. in this manner, rescue operations are more speedier. retrieval operations are faster and more accurate due to better communications system. technologically, naval services and licensing require every ship to have a standard communication system. it must be upgraded... it must pass naval inspections for a shipping line to operate. without better communications system, retrieval operations, deep sea scavenging, rescue operations and weather disturbances will have a heyday in trouble and slow progress and create more dilemma. thus it is a requirement for each ship to have a standard communications system for better services...
