However, returning to my own recent shipboard experience and antennas
there, I will later today post a link to a dozen or so pictures. It
will include shots of Guss' Loops. I dare say several of these
pictures will provoke much head scratching (but only to those few
actually interested in antennas here in this forum).

I used to have the nomenclatures of all those antennas memorized, but, alas,
having gotten away from EMI inspections in 2003 and having fully retired
last year, all I can call to mind is the AS-2815/SSR-1 (your "Drooped Cross
Horizontal")

You zeroed in on some cryppie antennas. I rocognize the biconical dipole,
an HFDF antenna and a Rubicon antenna. They're often found together on an
Aegis cruiser. (Makes me want to put on my coveralls and get back out
there -- or maybe not.)
