Payback for the sneak attack.

SJ radar generally becomes available in mid-1942. There were probably a few advance sets around before then, but you have to remember you're currently based in Java which was a chaotic mess in early 1942. No one was going to ship sensitive electronic equipment to an island that everyone with a map could see was in eminent danger of falling to the Japanese.
Don't want it to fall into enemy hands.
