Oh, it's the superstructure part of the ship. It will be a combination of conning tower, armored weather bridge, flying bridge, and possibly the radio shack (depending on when this ship was last refitted). If this ship had radar, the primary arrays would be at the very top too, with a couple of secondaries wherever the designers could place them and not occlude lines of fire for the gun batteries.
I'd need to see the bridge itself to tell you more about the ship. Well, the bridge, or the engine room (which should be where they're making the electricity for the household). Hopefully this was a coal or oil boiler type of battleship, and not a nuclear powered retrofit. And if it is a retrofit, then hopefully they properly disposed of the spent fuel and encasement before they refitted the turbine into being a more conventional generator.
If possible, try to get a view of the ship from the conning tower. You'll be able to see the deck plan very plainly, and I'll be able to tell you a bit about the sorts of things this ship was designed to fight. If you get a chance to look at the bridge, don't pass it up.
