Michael, et al:

Probably the main reason that her 30-foot radio masts were "stowed" is that they were unable to withstand the force of the seawater while curising submerged, unless there were fore and aft
guys intalled to stiffen them. Raising and lowering them via that
primitive bevel-pinion gear drive must've been lotsa fun during heavy seas.........

Have a great day,

ROBERT M.
