Dave,
Apparently so. NAVSHIPS 91469 on RBB & RBC-5 & -6 is dated 02 July 1951.
The RBA, RBB and RBC were replaced (for a short time) in the fleet by the
AN/URR-11, 12 & 13. Which were soon replaced by the R-390A/URR. And some ships
never made the transition. As late as 1965, USS Bushnell (AS-13) still had RBB's
and RBC's as the primary communications receivers. Of course, tenders never
were high on the priority list for upgrades, at least in communications
equipment.
