USS Atlanta (IX-304)


The ship's two "macks", seen from forward while she was completing conversion to a weapons effects test ship at the Hunters' Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco, California, circa October 1964.
The original picture caption, released by 12th Naval District Office of Public Information, reads: "The two masts atop the DLG (guided missile frigate) deck houses are identical in appearance, but, like the deck houses themselves, the forward one is designed specifically for blast resistance."
