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."
