The LORSTA veterans website (http://www.loran-history.info) has lots
of Loran info.

One particular doc says that:

	The first Loran-C navigation system was installed on the
	U.S. East Coast in 1957 by the Sperry Gyroscope Company,
	under the supervision of the U.S. Coast Guard, to provide
	special purpose navigation service for the U.S. Navy.

And this timeline may also provide clues, if somebody sift it:
