Fantastic, especially those cage aerials!

Sorry for posting here but I did not found the relevant Calling All USS Northampton CC-1 CLC-1 fans thread.

Does anybody know what was the insignia or logo that was painted on both sides of the funnel while she was in the NECPA role?
Google search does not provided results due to the current use of National Early Childhood Program Accreditation programme.
This 1964 photo shows the insignia:

It works if you type out the whole phrase instead of just the acronym, or the ship's name.

Anyway, it looks like it's the ship's patch:

I'm not sure they would paint the ship's badge on the hull.
More like some sort of presidential insignia something that is seen on Air Force 1?

No, the red lightning bolt is pretty evident, and the diagonal of the N matches the line crossing it from the other direction. The vertical strokes of the N would blend into the curved edge of the shield. The eagle on top of the crest also matches. All signs indicate that the Northampton crest matches what's on the funnel and absent any other evidence, it's the most likely possibility.

Indeed now looking at it closer it looks more like the crest of the ship.

Related to Northampton as well as to Wright, does anybody know the size/dimensions or designation of the huge Tropospheric Scatter antennas used by USS Northampton (Solid dish type) and USS Wright (Cage/Mesh like dish type)

I haven't seen many command vessels modelled. Lots of interesting antennae, too. Nice work.
