[Milsurplus] 1965 USN HF receiver - remotely tuned, automatically controlled

[Nick England]

 I found a 1965 General Dynamics recruiting ad touting this project -
"And a remotely tuned, automatically controlled HF communications receiving
set for the Navy's most far-reaching project, Southern Cross;"

Anyone know more about this receiver? Was the R-1051 an outgrowth? But it
wasn't ever remotely tuned.....was it?

Project Southern Cross - I am looking for info on this USN project for
advanced communications circa 1965 - Here's all I have found so far -
A very general description from the Jan 1965 Bureau of Ships Journal -
