In order to provide for complete, adequate, and effi-
cient communications.between the Task Force Headquarters at
Eniwetok, Oahu, United States, and other points during the entire
period of the operatio, new and special equipment was installed in |

Special AN/TRC-1 equipment was installed in MT. MCKINLEY,
CURTISS, and ALBEMARLE to provide for high speed Radio Teletype commnications between these three major ships and also from the Flagship
to the Joint Relay Station at Eniwetok.
It is worthy of mention here
that the Flagship acted as a relay station for all traffic originated
by units afloat at Eniwetok.
In this capacity as a relay center,
she handled approximately 20,000 groups daily and a total of approxi-
mately 1,200,000 for the operation.
Also installed in the same major
ships were teletype machines which were used in conjunction with
Crypto System SIGTOT.
This system, being the most seoure available,
was used for the receipt and transmission of all AEC Restricted Data.
This equipment also permitted conferences to be held between. the
three major ships and certain designated points in Oahu and the
United States, thus eliminating the transmission of a great amount
of classified information over normal channels.
