AN/UYK-7 computer set in the collection of the U.S. Naval Undersea Museum. The AN/UYK-7 was the first computer used with the MK 113 and MK 117 fire control and sonar systems aboard Los Angeles-class submarines. Placed in service in the 1970s, the AN/UYK-7 could hold 100 kilobytes of memory in its magnetic core — an extremely high capacity at the time, but about a million times smaller than the capacity of a modern iPhone. By the mid-1980s, the more advanced AN/UYK-43 had replaced the AN/UYK-7. The Navy continued to maintain a small number of AN/UKY-7 units into the late 2010s, however, as backup units for the Tomahawk fire control systems in use aboard submarines USS Dallas (SSN 700) and USS La Jolla (SSN 701).
