I would agree.

One of the more used photos actually shows a TBO - you can tell from the
tag. You can't read it, but from the "Navy Department" portion, you can
see it says "Bureau of Engineering" and not "Bureau of Ships".

I have a slightly water damaged TBX-8 trunk, if anyone is interested. I
can't ship it, but I might be able to bring it to SLO.
