WRN-6 NAVSTAR GPS

The only thing I could find:

From what I can judge from the drawing, so it must be plate-shaped, and then I wonder if it could be that one the top of the front mast

It's on the USN parts sheet.

- Omega navigation receiver (for the drawing it might be only an antenna, but I couldn't quite be sure by reading the text)
I honestly don't know what these look like. They are not the unit on the top of the mast, that's the TACAN unit. The GPS is probably invisible at Shipbucket Scale.

I don't know what it looks like, but it isn't that.

A typical commercial GPS receiver is about a foot long at the outmost, so it's basically invisible at SB scale
“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.

The GPS I use at work would be roughly 0.75 pixels square at shipbucket scale...but that's a TomTom unit, and fit for guided a Pizza delivery driver to an address, not a ship at sea...

The antenna for the Army's 'Blue Force Tracker' was just about a foot in diameter and not too thick... maybe 4". You can't really draw it at SB scale.

Thanks a lot for all of your help. It's much appreciated :D But the MK23 TAS is buggering me. Both Navybrat and Timothy says it is on USN part sheet, but is it under another name? Or is it me who can't see it right for my eyes? I've looked in all the olds too, but I can't see it. I'm aware it's a part of the Sea Sparrow system. :(

It's below the SPS-50 on the Radar sheet.

Thiel could you please give me a link? The only US radar sheet I know of, is on these forum, and here is nothing below the SPS-50 :shock:

Thanks Thiel :D Shame you put red arrows on, because I would like to change my old parts sheet with this updated version. Never mind, now I got the TAS, and I really appriciate that ;)
