Ship's Mast and Radar

Here you see the Type 274 “double cheese” (middle of mast, for gunnery direction) and air search radars (top of mast.) Note signal flags on the right. I don't know if they are Royal Navy signals or International code; both systems were in place during World War II. The last two flags on the bottom might mean CR and Z.
