It seems when I read the book on the Barb, it mentioned there fear of getting picked up by surface radar land stations, but I can't confirm this or if any players used these in the war. This isn't the Barb's attack on the radar station, which I assume was air.

If so, I wondered if it was possible to take the surface radar on ships, adjust it and place it on land, so it would mimic land surface radar stations.

It's so easy to evade escorts and get into straits, harbors, etc., around Japan. Some land surface radar stations should home in on you and call in nearby escorts. Course, not sure how escorts would react to a seperate radar not in the group.
