Note 1          The Navy's first standard computer for the Naval Tactical Data Systems
Note 2          This computer ISA spawned the Univac commercial 490 series of computers
Note 3          This computer ISA spawned the Univac commercial 418 series of computers
Note 4          Second generation Naval Tactical Data Systems standard computer
Note 5          Inputs to fill in any blanks are welcome.

*     This design was originally conceived as a computer unit tester before becoming the heart of the Navy's logistics system.
**    a flip of a switch would cause operation in 30 bit or 36 bit mode.
***   Variations were used to launch Talos, Tarter, and Terrier missles; ship to air and ship to shore devices.
****  The C-3 became the Trident Submarine navigation core, guiding submarines under the polar ice cap.
