Enemy ever shoot by radar?

I don't know, but last night was strange. I decided to ambush Kurita in the San Bern, I do have every ship in this group set to elite crew ratings, plus a tad stronger AI and I was in a Tambor, just wanted to see if I could survive it.

The TF came on, had them on radar, I was 7nms in the front at decks awash, but engines still on, about 25 ft. I was taking another radar measurement when I heard the sound of shells flying overhead, cams were off, so I went to bridge and saw a few shells landing near. I turned away flank, my broadside was to them. I had contacts on, the nearest DD was 5nms' away, but coming very fast, large ships with radar were 6-8nms away in the group. I, nor the crew could make a visual, shells kept flying so I dived, decoy and went flank. However, least 4 of the DD' came to attack. I wasnt sure of the Tambors dive depth, seldom use it, but took it down to 440, but the elite escorts boxed me in and worked me over why the TF went by.

I swear, even with my settings I can't figure out in a dark night, no moon, light fog that they could see me from that range even with my AI and elite settings. I've never heard of the enemy shooting by radar, just wondered if possible, doubt it.....but last night made me wonder.
