In 1963, the USN tasked Technical Materiel Corp (TMC) to develop a Transportable Communications Center AN/TSC-35.
The Commcenter/Receiver section consisted of twenty 40' vans full of equipment that were bolted together on site. They were shipped to Nea Makri Greece and installed to create NAVCOMMSTA Greece in late 1963. I have scanned dozens of photos of the van interiors prior to shipment and some during the installation process (prior to crypto gear install).

The photos show tons of M28 TTY gear

I have just started scanning the Transmitter Site photos

If you are really curious, the station tech manual is on line
