Another view of the Radar Picket Tracer on the wooden deck Randolph.

This Tracer was on the wooden deck carrier WWII vintage USS Randolph, also carrying S-2 Trackers and Sea Kings. There was a war on then, too. Later carriers had to anchor off Portsmouth.

This example of the AEW development of the Tracker visited Portsmouth aboard USS Randolph in 1966, also assigned at that time to VAW-121 (shore base Norfolk NAS, VA) but with an 'AW' tail code. Arrived at MASDC 7.72 and out to the local Consolidated yard for part-out in 10.81; still extant 12.98
