Mike: The WLF/Maxim rear mount ladder was one of four RM's delivered to the US Navy in May, 1979. Serial number 80-1639 went to the Norfolk Navy Yard. 80-1640 was originally delivered to the Submarie Base in Groton, Connecticut, 80-1641 went to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and 80-1642 went to the US Naval Base in Pearl Harbor. In later years the Groton RM was reassigned to the former Philadelphia Navy Yard and now is used by a small department in Salem County, New Jersey.
