Cool USS Alabama radio equipment - can you identify?

OK, for all you "old salts" lets play name that rig!

Picture 1: Radio control center aboard the USS Alabama. All the equipment seems to be receviers...hmm? Makes one wonder if it was that way back in WWII?

Picture 2: Close up of one of the recievers

Picture 3: A radio from another ship, on display in a photograpic darkroom of all places, where they also had a crate marked "8x10 field camera" which I would have loved to have seen set up, being a big fan of Ansel Adams.

So if you guys know what these things are, let the rest of us know
