Thanks Bill - I see that WW2 boats USS Cod and USS Pampanito both had the
TBL-7 - what I am wondering about is boats that were built after the war -
or were there any?
Nautilus was laid down in 1952 and commissioned in 1954. I am trying to
figure out what she would have had aboard for the trans-polar cruise of
1958.
I assume a TCS set, but what about a higher power HF transmitter?
