Hard to say, the photo doesn't really provide any sense of scale or enough detail to tell for sure.

Knowing what type of ship might be helpful.

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here, but looks like it could be some sort of biconic antenna with a shield over most of it. The extended ground sleeve underneath is interesting, could be trying to shield something else.

A biconic antenna would be really wide bandwidth and wouldn't be unusual to see on a naval vessel.

Just a guess, though.
