Sound Ranging Observer
June 1945 is the manual's publication date; no effective date for a change to SSN 586 is given.
- The June 1945 Present Title column is blank, so the earlier title is not established as a current specialty in that manual.
- The entry does not establish a fixed replacement or explicitly identify whether SSN 586 was deleted or fundamentally changed.
