Name This Mystery Ship V
By popular demand, the "Name This Mystery Ship" contest is back! Here's the rules: no cheating by using photo-matching programs or things like that. Otherwise? Free game. The winner gets a post on a topic of his or her own choosing (within limits: no pr0n, religion or politics). If it looks like nobody is going to get it, I may decide to post a hint or two.
Here's the mystery ship:
Good luck to you!

To my land-lubber eyes, the rigging looks like some sort of radio gear. I searched for either a radio-navigation beacon ship, or perhaps an intelligence vessel performing radio direction finding/intercepts. Unfortunately, I could not find any vessels which both performed those missions and resembled your photo...

My first guess was a SIGINT ship, or maybe a RADAR picket. But I can't come up with a matching profile. The hunt continues...

Oops. USS Anacapa, (I figured it was a Q ship)

Darn, now that Brickmuppet gave the name, I found it right away. For some reason I figured you wouldn't choose a Q-ship again...

@Siergen: ...again? I haven't done a Q-ship before.
@Brickmuppet: I'm not going to ask how you knew this one.
There's a good story behind the Anacapa, which I'll tell tomorrow (oooh, teaser).
