[CW] US Navy has returned to teaching Morse to select trainees:

[David Wescombe-Down]

…and this spook was trained in Hawaii to send & receive @ 42wpm error free, telegraphic keyboard reception/Vibroplex Champion bug & Cootie keys, then being employed on trawlers & ice-breakers (north & south) for monitoring & deception duties primarily on MF. Best job I ever had!!

Troops being trained are CTR rating, intel collection operator (“spook”), not communications operators.  They never touch a key.
