Japanese Radar

What is the estimate range of the Japanses radars? Fairly new at the game, and I was tracking a convoy or the surface at night and I was detected by a destroyer. To stay out of harms ways/range how much distance should I allow to mauntain a safe distance.

they also had 20 cm binoculars installed on all ships... so you might just have been detected visually, even at night..

Thank you.

I was just a little surprised that the destroyer located me so easily. Thanks for the links.

From http://www.fischer-tropsch.org/:

There is a large body of documents from the 1920’s through the present day which are important for researching and understanding the history and development of the Fischer-Tropsch and related processes.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:

The Fischer–Tropsch process (or Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis) is a set of chemical reactions that convert a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons.

I don't get it. Did you include the wrong URL?

I see the relevance of that document. That site sure is strange to me, though. A section on dentistry in the Japanese navy? That's funny for some reason. What any of that has to do with the Fischer-Tropsch process escapes me.
