Isn't that the DoD designation for a PDP-8?
... from the PDP-8 model FAQ...

Also known as:
Classic PDP-8 (to point out lack of a model suffix)
Straight-8 (Again, points out the lack of a model suffix)
PCP-88, an OEM label, used by Foxboro Corporation.
AN/GYK-6, (Army-Navy Ground-based (Y)data-processing Komputer 6)

... guess not...
So I went digging and found these links by asking Jeeves...

I guess an AN/UYK-43 is a VMS-based 32-bit computer, the AN/UYK-20
has core memory, the AN/UYK-64 is somehow DG compatible. Not sure
about any other models.
Never seen an AN/UYK of any model up close. Sounds interesting.
