Can military ships use civilian jump engine?

As asked in the title, can they?


Edit: To clarify, in this case it is one military ship using one civilian jump engine.

No. But commercial can jump from military drives.
Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

They should be. As it was explained to me, the only limit is the type of Engine (not Jump Engine). See below http://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?title=Jump_Tender

it is more accurate to think of it as a commercial jump drive, not civilian;  you can make military vessels that use commercial-rated engines and jump drives.

most basic answer to the original question;

yes
unless they have military engines
