USS_Ray; http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/08271.htm
This photo of the Ray (SS-271) underway, was probably taken shortly after her conversion to a Migraine III radar picket in late 1952. The bridge lacks the "wings" seen in later photos that were added to increase visibility aft while maneuvering alongside the pier. The YE-3 aircraft homing beacon that is installed on a mast on the aft deck was removed not long after she was returned to service in favor of the new TACAN system. A close look at the photo shows what appears to be an attempt at censoring. This would explain the lack of antennae on the BPS-2 on the sail, the BPS-3 on the deck, and the YE-3 at the same time.
