[Milsurplus] Carrier Radio Rooms

[John Hutchins]

All -
On most ships of any size, with the room, there were 2 or more radio 
rooms and  appropriate transmitter rooms.  On destroyers, and subs 
pretty much if you were hit by a 12 shell or a torpedo you were toast; 
because these ships and men were expendable; radio 2 was your life raft 
if you were lucky.
