Re: Radio freque3ncies/ African-Americans

1) Because many of the same radio frequencies used by the submarine force in World War II are still in use today they remain classified. The Fox Schedule was submarines only. The surface fleet copied the "Fleet Broadcast."

2) I can't recall seeing any African-Americans on submarines in any capacity until the seventies. While during the war some eighty per cent of Stewards were Filipinos, a review of WW II submarine sailing lists does not show any Filipinos on board. I don't think there were any Filipinos serving in submarines until 1948 when a major overhaul of personnel distribution policies and the rating structure was undertaken.
