So questions to those in the club... Does ASW have a shortened pronunciation or you just say it as A-S-W?
And how about ASuW?

The "raw" pronunciation likely goes back to at least the Vietnam War era. At the time an alternate term "Radar Homing and Warning", which gives the acronym "RHAW", was commonly used to refer to early radar warning receivers.
