The "destroyer" was actually an Ex-USN WWII vintage Salavage ship or fleet tug. USN sold some to Turkey and Greece. My bet is probably Turkish made up to look like an ASW vessel.
BTW, only German ship used as a target at Bikini A-Bomb test was cruiser Prinz Eugen. The cruisers passive sonar conformal array was removed and installed around the conning tower fairing of USS Flying Fish SS 229 for testing and evaluation prior to her departure to Bikini. That passive sonar system was the model for the BQR-4 series installed on the six converted Gato Class SSK's in the early 1950's.
