SD USS Midway 074.jpgThe CP-642B Computer is a general-purpose, stored-program machine capable of rapidly processing a large quantity of complex data. Internal storage of the computer consists of a 32,672-word, 30-bit word length, ferrite-core main memory.

There's still a manual for this computer, too.
