of the Mighty FORRESTAL
The U.S.S. FORRESTAL . . . 60,000-ton sea giant . . . the most powerful carrier afloat . . . owes much of its fighting efficiency to its modern sensory system . . . including its advanced-design communication and air navigation "nerve centers" developed by Federal Telecommunication Laboratories, a division of International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation.
To guide its planes safely home through darkness, fog, and stormy weather, the FORRESTAL utilizes Tacan revolutionary new system that continually indicates position of moving ship to its fast-flying planes.
To keep in constant two-way voice contact with its pilots in the air, the Forrestal uses a new ultra high frequency radio system . . . with an effective range over one-and-one-half times greater than many previous systems — beaming its power through new-type antennas in new locations below the level of the flight deck.
For ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communication the FoRRESTAL's medium-and-high frequency radio system provides clear and dependable transmission for voice, teleprinter, highspeed code and facsimile.
The same electronic "nerve centers"
will be installed on the new super carrier U.S.S. Saratoga and other great aircraft carriers to come.
These vital developments .. .Tacan. UHF and MHF radio . . . are outstanding examples of IT&T's continuing contributions to electronic progress ... to the growing might of America's defensive forces.
