SD Antenna Mast
By 1944, there was too much new equipment to be housed in the Conning Tower. On solution was to lengthen the CT, but it didn't work out very well. The next solution was to mount the SD radar on it's own mast behind the CT on the cigarette deck. This allowed the SD repeater to be located in the main control room, which had more available space. The SD Mast also served as the base for many postwar radar and radio antennae and as such is left in a basic shape so detailers can easily modify it to whatever use they deem fit. It does have the rung step locators cast into both sides.
