Following World War II, this communications radio was taken off a decommissioned U.S. destroyer and given to the Brazilian navy for use. It was eventually returned to the United States when it was no longer of use to the Brazilians.  It is now on display at Heritage In Flight Museum.   [picture by Jan Youngquist]
