Interesting photo at

This seems quite early - on board amphibious force command ship USS Ancon 
July 1943. I wonder if it was only used for internal shipboard comms or ran 
to a RTTY link?

More shots of the joint command center aboard Ancon at

Can anyone ID the equipment on the left side of this photo
