Tysroc may recognize some of the equipment.
Incidently, the guy working on the antenna?
That's exactly what I do.

I missed the Antenna scene but it was pretty funny.

That was a DF antenna, not a transmitting one.

Nice to see that the USN apparently uses the same janitorial supply company as the theater chain I work for.
Oh, and what class of ship was that?

The
Lake Champlain is a Ticonderoga class cruiser. Also refered to as an Aegis cruiser.
That video was pretty good.
I was a little surprised that somebody was even attempting to make his rack all nice and tight. I think my whole division laughed at our LT when he mentioned hospital corners during a berthing inspection.
I thought I recognized some SLQ-32 equipment racks in the opening bit.
The antenna scene made me wish I had video of some of the fun I had with antennas since mine were up on the top of the mast. I didn't have to hang out quite like that but I did straddle open air on ocassion just to get the stupid cover off of the thing. It also reminded me of annoying SRBOC maintenance. Seeing all those exterior lockers probably contributed to that.
