[Milsurplus] TCS CW

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

PT boats, for one, where in aircraft terminology it was both the Command 
Set and the Liaison Set.  I'm sure you would agree that there is ocean between 
Australia and the PI.  LCM's were another.  Ocean going tugs.  Corvettes 
probably (I have a number of TCS dual-dynamotor power units with British 
markings).
