What US naval communications systems were used during the Vietnam War?

Wireless (Morse-Code) and standard radio communications. Satellites existed, and as with computers today, those items were limited to military usage. Civilians only received access to computers (on line/web sites/e-mail/etc) during the Clinton administration in the 1990's. During the Vietnam War, U-2 and SR-71 Spyplanes were still needed for military operations; those two aircraft have been phased out by today's hi-tech satellites/computers. The U-2 was brought back into service for temporary duty, for basically the same reason Ford and Pontiac have remarketed their Ford Mustangs and Pontiac GTO's, "Nostalgia." They wanted to bring back the SR-71 Blackbird too, but the cost was too prohibitive.
