[Milsurplus] Blueprints: WWII Ship Antennas and Gear

[David Stinson]

These U.S. Navy blueprints from 1944 and 1945, which show ship antennas and
name the gear for which they were intended, should birth some 
interesting discussions:

LSM Fire Support Ship Antennas 1945:

Haskell-class Attack Transport 1945:

This one is really interesting:
Adirondack-class Amphibious Landing Headquarters Ship and Communicaton Hub.
This drawing is just the receiver antenna feedline plans, so I didn't 
take close detail
photos.  There are about 80 receivers on this ship, most of them Superhets.
I have an idea that the "quieted" local oscillators in Navy ships had 
less to do
with submarines and more with preventing LO interference to the other 
receivers:

Opinions:
Should I send these (and other) blueprints to the WWII Museum in New 
Orleans,
or to the U.S.S. Wisconsin folks, or elsewhere?
