| Newly fabricated Command Control Module for our SQS-23 Sonar in CIC!
Al Lundgren and his son completely replicated the missing unit using photos from our sister ship USS Steinaker DD863.

Repeater from our Swansea Radar Repeater Restoration Shop.

| Bob Ledux
and his crew brought the unit back to the ship, and with a mix of NAPS
and volunteers, installed it in CIC. As some might think, museum ships
are supposed to be "dead" and not have working items-- but we don't
believe in that.
|
When I asked Bob what his team
plans to do now that all the transportable units have gone to his shop,
He merely states "Where are the Manuals for the SPA-8s?". We love that
attitude.
