Looks familiar, must be an update 2.5 or maybe even 2 with all that ancient looking TACCO gear and old APS radar. Now its all GPS and fiber optic uprades.

I was an Sensor 1 in VP56 in the mid 70s out of Jax. Thanks for the memories.

Video was taken in December of 1990 (I believe, been some time...) while heading out onstation in the Persian Gulf during the Desert Storm build-up. The CP901 was down more than it was up, a royal aggravation... I can only imagine how much space was saved by putting in modern computers today, and how much more reliable they are..

wow we learned about the old cp-901 but all we learn about in school now is the cp-2044 and the asq-222 this is obviously an UD-3 i think but thats cool i cant wait to get to the fleet
