The primary limitation on range was the height of the retractable mast, radar being limited to line-of-sight. |
Right, but it doesn't cite a source for any of its information on the site that I've found. They also have an Ohio class SSBN as their banner. On the other hand this manual from the Navy has no mention of the SJ being extendable, but does mention the SD being extendable. http://archive.hnsa.org/doc/radar/index.htm
