Technical School Certificates
Before reporting to OcUnit One on USNS Bowditch I attended two technical schools, one for the CP677 computer in Dam Neck, VA,and a second for the SASS bathymetry sonar at Harris ASW in Westwood, MA. Here are the graduation certificates.

Dutton and Michelson (and on USS Compass Island AG-153). It was also used on the BRN-3 Satellite Navigation Receiver and as NAVDAC, the navigation data
assimilation computer.
