Photo of antennas from Pampanito in WW II

We are missing the radio antenna from the right side of this picture taken looking aft (the port side of the boat, opposite the sailor) in 1945. We are also missing the bracket, fittings, pipe leading to hull and shear valve.

We are not sure whether we are missing the VHF antenna or the IFF antenna, but they are very similar. This would be vertical antenna type CTZ-66AFJ, or CACQ-66AFU-1.
