It should be noted that there were no "standard setups" for the US Navy
during World War 2.

	I worked for a while in the Hunters Point Ship Yard and at The Naval
Shipyard at Long Beach doing radio centrals on destroyers. Even in the late
'60s after my 'nam time there were differences within type from ship to
ship. Years and jobs later, during the early-mid '90s, the group I was with
placed systems on the carriers in CVIC(spook shop) and Main Radio (comms)
and guess what....ALL were different so our installations were 'similar' but
definitely not the same. Then....we worked with Army MI groups and nothing
was the same there either which made for site specific drawing sets for each
site.

Darn...60 years after the RAK/RAL...the tradition continues ~8^0
