Just kidding of course, but KaleunMarco reported radar issues on his Balao after being fitted with the ST after Jan of 1945. But your boat is fresh off the lot, still has that new car smell, so surely it functions as intended?... |
that is correct. ST radar on a Balao did not function at all. it made that combat patrol quite nerve racking. that item was #1 on my gripe list when we returned to port. i made sure that the repair crew replaced it with the "old" SJ-1 which worked just fine, thank you very much.
