Here's the manual for US WWII radars: http://www.hnsa.org/doc/radar/index.htm



A google of ST-radar: http://www.google.com/search?q=st-ra...rchBox&ie=&oe=

A Stratosphere Trophosphere radar...? Definitely not on any boat (yet), I'm afraid!

No, ST was a small radar attatched the attack periscope usually in RL.ST had a short range but enabled quick range reading of target.Came into service in late 44, believe it came standard on Tench class subs, Balaos and Gatos were outfitted with it in 1945.

The TMO mod has ST radar for Tench class submarines on the observation scope.Maybe one day ducimus will make it an upgrade for all subs in late war, that would be ideal.
