EHF = Extremely High Frequency
CEC = Cooperative Engagement Capability
IFF = Identification Friend or Foe
X/Ka = Also worth noting, although it may not significantly impact the radar cross-section of the ship, is the bubble like structure atop the deckhouse and forward of the ships flush-mounted exhaust. This houses the X/Ka band satellite communications antenna system. Source
The/Drive (where some of the images came from)
SPY-3 = AN/SPY-3 active electronically scanned array radar
SEWIP = Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program
Oops nearly missed this one off the list:-
CEWE = Component Electro-Optical Windows Enclosure(s)
(the diagram carries expansion as = Electro-Optical Window Enclosure)

Thank you Harry , very grateful for your help, as I knew that if it consumed electricity YOU would know all about it .
I realise its a front line asset [ and not much chance of a Haynes Manual on this type] but after all the blustering and proclamation of how good it was / is it is a bit like a damp squid , aggravated by the huge overplay of its fighting capability with graphic images of its potential capabilities and not being able to afford the munitions
A bit like stating they have developed telescopic sites for a blowpipe .......what a frustrating expense which is unaffordable to operate
....I shall be getting an earful from Dennis for that comment
Still all that aside Harry thank you for your efforts to educate me / US on the Forum and the time to do so
