| 71k | Seen at Mare Island Navy Yard on July 2, 1945. A good detail shot of late-war electronics aboard destroyers. Dominating the photo is the bed-spring appearing SC-2 air-search unit with the smaller SG surface-search unit just ahead and below it. The smaller panel atop the SC-2 is a dual system IFF unit (Identification Friend or Foe) and IFF transponders are seen at each end of the yard-arm, being ski pole like in appearance. The TBS antenna (Talk Between Ships) sits next to the port side IFF transponder while all of the main and 40mm guns can be controlled by the Mk 28 radar dish atop her forward director. Weight savings measures are in place as the Mk 28 replaces the Mk 12 and Mk 22 combination usually carried. A 20mm twin mount has been installed just behind and to the side of #2 turret, as part of the anti-kamikaze rearming program. | - | |
