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.)
There were more antennas to select from for posting, but they
inhabited higher frequencies and had less obvious structural elements
- like one I stood next to while the crew manned the rails. Not
crypto, per sé, but one of those spook traffic sniffers that was the
size of an industrial washing machine, sitting on the weather deck of
the forward superstructure. The CT Chief standing next to me pointed
it out.
The shipboard shots were either the USS Bunker Hill, or the USS
Princeton, AEGIS cruisers as you have already said.
