Seeking records of Electronics Division, Bureau of Ships, 1946-1948

Looking for records of the Bureau of Ships>Electronics Division>Design Branch>Special Applications Section in the period 1946-1948. I have no specifics or project names, only that the Section was involved in designing specific electronic devices and/or systems for surface ships and submarines. Any information or suggestions for further research about this Section is much appreciated.

Dear Mr. Hunter,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located 3 series of the Electronics Division titled Records Relating to Ship Electrical Design, 1848-1965 in the Records of the Bureau of Ships (Record Group 19); and Records Relating to Tube Types, 1945-1960; and Tube Type Files, 1935-1960 in the Records of Naval Electronics System Command (Record Group 345). The records are not yet digitized and available in the Catalog. For access to and/or copies, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
