Carrier island in the picture was misidentified. The carrier in the picture is USS Yorktown (CV-5 ).

The web address below is a picture of the island of Aircraft Carrier USS Enterprise ( CV-6 ) taken some time before her 1943 refit ( note the older type "Chicago Organ" anti-aircraft guns in front of her island, replace during her refit).  The picture shows her radar antenna, and above that, her YE homing beacon antenna.
