Furuno Radar Problem
snip
Our SPS-6 aboard USS Everglades (AD-24)... Sea stories? Oh boy! Now this one is a no ****ter. In 1965, up on one of the westernmost islands in the Aleutian chain, we used to send guys outside with a compass, a pair of binoculars, and a notepad, to watch for the Russians making overflights. They were told the aircraft would be either GU11's or B1RD's and to note the number of aircraft in the flight, relative bearing, and approximate distance. Sometimes we'd use two guys and one of them would be a runner to bring the reports back in where they were plotted and tracked on a map.
