[Milsurplus] Trailing Wire Antenna Query

It appears the common US Army trailing wire
antenna system consisted of the BC-461 control
box and RL-42 reel. Plus associated bits and pieces.

Question is, was there a Navy equivalent?

I had the chance to explore the inside of a
P2V Neptune before it was converted to a
fire bomber, and it had the BC-461.

Did the Navy just simply the use the Army
system?

Thanks
