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

[Norman Ryan]

Hi,

Some time ago, I saw an R-390 (A version, I think it was) on the USS Clamagore, museum submarine at Point Pleasant near Charleston, SC.

I'm aware this may have been a donation from one of the volunteer crew, so dunno if this was what she carried during active service before becoming a museum vessel, but there it was in that teensy cramped radio shack space.
