As poster points out this is one person's point of view and in no way complete.

Interesting post, and the comments too. The blog post and the comments seem to suggest that US Navy ships, or at least this particular ship, don't normally have a civilian type maritime radar with a master display on the bridge. Does anyone know if that's really the case? Judging by various pics of USS Porter I'm seeing at least two such antennas in the forward mast, and imho it would make no sense to put the master displays anywhere else except for the bridge.
