Title: USS Atlanta (IX-304)
Description: 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. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
