I found out a little tidbit from a former crewman that served aboard (Steven Smith) - on Facebook. He wrote:
"(USS Long Beach) she had 2 small donkey boilers amidships used for auxiliary steam. Here’s a photo of an ASROC launch and the smokestack, it’s aft of the ASROC box launcher and forward of the 5” gun directors on the 0-1 Level.
I climbed it to put her stack covers on."
