Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this important project report provides a chronological overview of the Navy's communications activities, which examines the technological developments of the Navy's shore-based communications systems and identifies the principal installations involved in the Navy's communications efforts The study also examines the property types associated with the Navy's Cold War communication program, such as transmitter stations, receiver stations, high frequency direction finder (HF/DF) stations, and the various antenna types. The Navy Cold War Communication Context was undertaken to develop a national historic context for the Navy's Cold War communication program between 1946 and 1989, and was designed to serve as a companion volume to the Legacy-funded Navy Cold War Guided Missile Context.
