I did one carrier, the Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). Plankowner of that
fine vessel.
Yes indeed.
I actually worked on an R-390 a few times in the mid-80's. It was a
dinosaur then and we only had one of them. I remember it having a
ridicously complicated tuning mechanism, lots of gears and shafts, and
very difficult to get tuned up well.
I think much of the comm gear of today is digitally tuned with some
mouse clicks on a screen.
Times, they are a-changing. ;-)
... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
