[R-390] R390/R390A really "classified?"

[jgedde at optonline.net]

I just finished reading a PDF of a redacted, declassified report of the USS Pueblo.  Good stuff!  Looks like the crew didn't do such a great job doing anything more than damaging the exterior faces of the equipment...  There were a number of R390 and R390A's that were unscathed.

Just read the book about the North Koreans taking the USS PUEBLO and search for photos on line about what the CT’s did to the R-390’s onboard before being captured in international waters... emergency destruction - render equipment inoperable...
