I was stationed at the Pearl Harbor TTY repair shop in 1976 and 77. That 
was my final duty station before discharge. Most of my time was spent in 
the building next to the dive tower servicing the equipment for the 
COMSUBPAC comm center. They were all M28, primarily four high racks of 
printers with and without keyboards, a handful of KSR units, a few 
shelves of single printers, lots of tape equipment and a couple of 
UGC-6s. All of it was low level signaling due to TEMPEST requirements. 
There is no way I am going to remember the nomenclature for that 
equipment at this point.

But I was never on a sub, even though they berthed at the piers right 
next door. I also suspect MITE printers, as that was what was installed 
on the Cochrane (DDG-21) during the 1973 overhaul. The sub force always 
seemed to get the new equipment first.
