Re: Identify this Navy Armed Guard class?
Mike: I don't like to think anyone is talking to himself here. I never stood a gun watch (I was an RM), but I noticed things, and I never saw a gun equipped with radar of the sort pictured here on any of the merchant ships I served on. Radar, I think, would require the presence of a radarman for purposes of operation and maintenance, and I never knew or saw a radarman assigned to an A.G. gun crew. But I left the A.G. before the war ended, and this sort of thing may have come along after my return to the Fleet. -- Fran
