If you have seen JAG or NCIS (tv shows), you probably know some of these and with NCIS being a top (broadcast) show for a few years, it is quite likely a lot of (dare I say older) people have heard of these

I was Navy for 5 years and a navy contractor for 10 and I’ve never seen URL in my life. (Besides, you know, the web meaning)

Only ~30% of people on HN are from the US and I'd assume that the number of non-US people who watched NCIS in the original language are comparatively low.

Does anyone have time to cite a source for this? I was thinking this number was a lot higher.

Sure! There are no definitive numbers, but we have a few data points:
Dang mentions quite often that HN has a very international readership, for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23363430 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23438403 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27052434
An old poll with 32% US (probably the number I remembered): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13819771
There's also a recent poll w/ 47% (2346 of 4891), although this might be timing related: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30210378
> An old poll with 32% US

Clearly you need one more poll to decide this, as per XKCD 927.
