Did IJN ships have DF or radar warning gear?

Japanese DF capability was supposed to be decent, but I'm unsure of their capabilites at sea. Certainly this capability was an assumption of prewar USN doctrine, and why our subs kept quiet.

Radar detection is more vague, though I seem to recall reading about attempted setups (using radar) that the US skipper thought was detected.

I ask because all the sns files have blank spots for DF and radar detection gear...
