I've noticed one important fact no one's mentioned here, the main reason radar on subs never seems to work is that you have to remember it's fixed to your conning tower.
No, the main reason the radar never seems to work is that it automatically turns off whenever water hits the bridge.

So in inclement weather/heavy seas, when you are most likely to want to use radar, it won't stay on but for a minute or two before shutting down because water hit it.
