Note from the webmaster:

I am quite familiar with the AN/ARC 552 VHF/UHF transceiver designed by Harry Dulmage. It was designed for use onboard aircrafts but it was also ideal for use in submarines due to limited space onboard. The 552 was the main VHF/UHF transceiver used onboard the Canadian Oberon submarines during the cold war. Click here to go to the equipment page on my submarine website and scroll down the page to find the 552.
