US Navy Comm Standard and Jester

[AusMumbles]

Howdy guys,

 

Quick question I was hoping someone in the know might be able to help me with.

 

My general question is, did/does the USN use a different comms Standard to the USAF?

 

I ask this because in the latest HB Turkey videos, Jester has always used Angels when calling out radar contacts regardless if they are a freind or foe. According to some of the USAF Comm Standard docs I've managed to find, Angel is always listed as the height of friendly aircraft in thousands of feet.

 

Shouldn't Jester then be calling the non friendlys the same way the AWACS does in game like 23,000ft? I haven't been able to find a USN doc that seems to contradict this.

 

If anyone's heard the audio from the gulf of sidra shootdown the aircrew both use Angels for friend and foe and it caused confusion.

 

Cheers,

Mumbles

Tactical brevity is standardized. They call them "multi-service brevity codes". I guess the RIO in the second F-14 did a mistake when asking for his angels. But the incident is from 1989 and I don't know what the situation was at that time.

Hmm..I have never heard of Angels solely being for friendlys
