[MRCG] Clatternet tonight

[Tim]

Nice...Unfortunately the USS Hornet did not benefit from those conditions.
MARAD (?) pulled all gear that might have had PCB's inside - leaving big
holes in the systems.  I think someone also told me that many big cable
bundles had been fire-axed to "demil" the systems.  I dunno.  There are
many RATT machines aboard but I have not had a very close look at the rest
of the comms suite.  Sure hope the Iowa can be restored to some operational
level in Radio.

The curse of a Museum Ship:  Kenwoods on Card Tables.....  Can't believe
that's allowed to happen....
