I did the same for USS Stewart with a TS-440 but they changed management and
threw me out along with the TS-440. I think they wanted me to modify the TBL
to a modern SSB Transceiver or prove that TS-440s were used by the US Navy in
WW2. I am pretty sure that even the Japanese Navy did not have them in WW2
because Western Electric did not invent the transistor until 1948. I am also
sure that if the Japanese had TS-440s in WW2 they would not have been so kind
as to sell them to the US Navy. As I have read (I was around, but at 4 was
not yet a ham) the Japanese were downright hostile to the US Navy during the
1941 to 1945 years.
The Stewart would like to sail in formation with Slater these days, but it is
stuck in the Pelican Island mud and would probably leak, although it floated
briefly during the Hurricane Ike storm surge.

One thing Stan neglected to mention is that he donated his K2.
Thank you Stan and 73.
