[R-390] John's R 390A article MORE??

Yep, subs had R-390A rcvrs too.

Note I don't think the USN ever deployed the R-390 but had tons of R-390A models in use in general comms as well as intercept applications. 
More shipboard photos here

And a shore station photo here- dual diversity TTY using AN/URA-8A converters.
