The logo on the rear of the turret is a reversed version of the U.S. Army 23rd Headquarters Special Troop from WW2, otherwise known as “Ghost Army” or “Phantom Army”. This Unit was made up by the 603rd Camouflage Engineers, the 406th Combat Engineers and the 3132nd Signal Service Company Special which answered directly to Gen. Omar Bradley.

I'm guessing that the ship or the gunners-mates have adopted the logo. The ship may also carrying a special ELINT detachment.

Yes indeed; I learned about the ghost logo etc a while ago - maybe here, and that short psyops video was good, that got posted yesterday.

Was this the fake outfit eventually assigned to Gen George Patton to fool the Germans that the invasion was at the Pas-de-Calais?
