Sorry, Steve.  About 12 or more HNSA (Historic Naval Ship's Ass'n) 
member groups (Memorial ships volunteers) stripped CA-134 before it 
left Philly.  I don't remember any TTY gear left aboard.  It would 
have been M28 stuff as the ship was decommissioned in 1961.  However, 
it's worth a look... ya never know.
