I guess it is radio room - but honestly i do not know - in future will go back to ship and do an even more detailed video.

Hey... at 3:43 is that the radioroom with the teletypewriters and the MARS (Military Affiliated Radio System) operations?

I like the tour b.t.w.

@Rob260259 We called it Faccon. At ~3:50 the square units by the desk and the large equipment racks on the right are TT-624 High Speed line printers and the system next to it with the keyboards is the Navmacs System for managing data message traffic. The next space was primarily for HF Receivers, a few Satellite Transceivers, and walls of TX/RX audio switchboards, as well as TTY patch Panels. The back room you couldn't go in was the Crypto room. Looks like I remembered it, minus the radiomen.

Hey thanks for your explanation! Ghehe.. the crypto room... that is where I worked for some months. Operating the stuff around the KW7 and KW37 if I remember well... Those were the days.

Cheers!

@Rob260259 I was an HF, WSC-3, and Navmacs Tech. Did the KY-75s, but glad I didn't have to touch the KY-8, KW-7s or KRW-37s. Remember how hot the TTY Patch Panels would get? I also remember that we always had to have our watches set to exact zulu time though. I was surprised they even had this area open. I though that the tour would just be the flight deck, hangar deck and maybe the bridge. Onboard 82-84 and 86-88. Press On!

Well that makes us ex naval collegues. I specialized in EW (jamming, interception and stuff). The end of the Cold War. Visited Mayport, Charleston, Jacksonville, and a whole lot more.

Yep, that time check I do remember. I joined in 1977. Even learned basic Russian, can you imagine?
