[Milsurplus] Navy Badged Collins Receivers

[chapmanf at comcast.net]

As a BUSHIPS Project Engineer on the original Navy SSB effort to prove value of SSB comms over AM & CW, I was involved 
in the purchase of a small quantity of 74A4 and KWS-1 to provide to a destroyer squadron for an air defense exercise 
in 1958. 
Units were not 'badged' and no NAVSHIPS pub purchased .. .. used only the Collins commercial manuals. 

Do not recall purchase of any other Collins amateur equipments for ship use.
