What is it called when the 60hz line power becomes something else?

>Oh, and who uses 400hz for line frequency?

Most of the Navy's computers used to be 400Hz onboard ship. I started out
as an Electrician onboard ship for 3 1/2 hellish years and had to work on
the Frequency converters. BIG water cooled suckers. Then I got smart and
switched over to computers. Just before I got smart and got out I was
working on a system that was about half 400Hz, so when we lost 400Hz, the
system would look like it was up, but wasn't.
