[Milsurplus] RAK & "submarine loop"

[Thekan, Paul]

Marty 

  The submarine ,USS Pampanito docked here in San Francisco , had as I
recall a large loop antenna mounted up on the conning tower. At least that
is as best as I can recall when I last saw it 7+ years ago. I would assume
it was used with the RAK as that receiver and the RAL where part of the gear
consigned to the radio room.
  I have the coupler unit used with the RAK to couple to the loop and would
be interested if anyone has any info on the loop itself. It would be a neat
project to try and replicate the loop.

Anyone out there know what a CRV-66096 submarine loop antenna might be?
Chesson sez an RAK is useable with one

I don't have a RAK manual but do have one for it's HF brother the RAL.
No info apparrently there..

Was this an underwater WW2 unit to shield out incoming galactic/thermal
noise @ VLF?
