1 person found this helpfulDear Mr. Liller,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
The muster rolls on Fold3 include the enlisted men of the specific Naval radio station but will not include the officers. We searched the National Archives Catalog and located two series titled Records of Inactive Naval Stations, 1941 - 1945 and Intelligence Records of Active Naval Stations, 1937 - 1945 in the Records of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (Record Group 38) that may include files of the Naval radio station you seek and possibly the names of the officers. Both of these series have file units listed but have not been digitized. For access to specific file units in these two series, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT2. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!

Josh Liller Jul 24, 2020 6:22 PM (in response to Rebecca Collier)What about Muster Rolls for pre-1937 for naval radio stations? The earliest stations were established at least as early as 1905.
