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..

Master Chief Radioman, US Navy



Hans is typical of radiomen. The more he runs his mouth, the more
his gross ignorance shows. His earlier statement about Morse no
longer being widely taught or used in the U.S. armed forces is but one
case in point. Now he attacks Lloyd Bucher! Is there any doubt
the Navy was correct in disbanding the Radioman rating? Good
riddance! How's the story telling going down at the Legion Hall
Hans?
