INSTALLATION SPOTLIGHT - 1967: US Navy, Boat Installation

Not all towers are destined for land...

Millard was called upon in 1967 to supply an 18m telecom tower for the US Navy. Equipped with a 6m ‘gin boom’, the tower was raised into position before being guyed into place. The tower was installed on the foredeck of the boat and provided critical communications.

A gin boom was used to raise the tower into place.
