USS Brough (DE-148)

    The USS Brough in the late 1950s with advanced electronics on the mainmast and yardarm. The topmost antenna is the TED (with the three AN/URR-13 series elements). Below are the SU surface radar (small dome on the left) and the the larger dome on the right is the ECM AS-570/SLR antenna. The DesDiv601 logo is on the stack.  It appears the K-guns, X-position weapon, and all AA weapons from amidships have been grounded.
