The only encryption used by the USA
(and Canada as well as the UK) was the "Sigaba" as shown
on the USS Pampanito floating museum and at the NSA
on-line Museum.

Wrong, kind elderly Gentleman. It wasn't the "only encryption used by the USA".

SIGABA (KL-29/BACCUS) was only ONE of SEVERAL encryption systems used by the USA
during WWII. In fact, it wasn't even the most commonly used one (KL7/ADONIS
holds that honor).


The "Sigaba" system (TTY), upgraded to post-WW2 standards
was severely compromised by the capture of the USS Pueblo
off the North Korean coast in 1968.

Wrong again, SIGANDERSON. SIGABA (and it's "upgrades") were retired from
service in 1959, almost a decade before the Lloyd Bucher shamefully struck his
colors to the Koreans..
