Subject: [Boatanchors] Blueprints: WWII Ship Antennas and Gear

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:

Cleveland-class Light Cruiser Antennas 1944:

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?
