[Milsurplus] [Glowbugs] CW "de" ?

[Hubert Miller]

Thanks for the input. Which maybe puzzles me even more.
“Digest of Naval Communications 1928” gives “V” as the ‘from’ signal. So when did it change?

I am, i think, on pretty sure ground when i say aviation communications used “V” also, as did 

Army ground.

Hue,

I spent 20 years, in the Navy, as a radioman and we never used "v", always "de" 1957-1977

Why did ham radio adopt the C.W. signal  “de” instead of the “v” used by the commercial services and the military?
