[Milsurplus] Radio installations at Battleship Cove (related?)

[radioman390 at cs.com]

The carrier Intrepid, docked as a museum in NYC, has one room maybe 6 
feet across and ten+ feet long that had as I recall about a dozen R-390 
and R-390A receivers mounted in racks along one wall. Access was denied 
by a thick plexiglass door which allowed looking but no touching.

This was twenty years ago even before it opened as a museum. I was 
touring the ship to take notes for the recorded audio tour (by 
"Acoustiguide"), and wandered off the scheduled track.

I remember thinking that I had four such radios at my beach house (two 
390s and two R-390A...
in my crazy stage of life). All worked too, fed with a multicoupler. 
Thank goodness "Hoarding" (the TV show) wasn't around then. At one 
point I had 90 receivers of all vintages, which weighed more than my 
car. What was I thinking?

I'll be in the Fall River Massachusetts area during the week of October 
24-29 and will be visiting Battleship Cove.

Are there any radio or radar installations on board the ships that can 
be visited?

Thanks in Advance.
