| Description | The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Benner (DD-807) off Boston, Massachusetts (USA), on 26 May 1945. Note the mast with the SP radar aft, replacing the forward torpedo tubes. The aft torpedo tubes were replaced by a 40 mm quadruple mount. Both were added to counter Japanese "kamikaze" suicide planes. Destroyers fitted with the SP radar were designated as radar picket destroyers ("DDR") in 1949. SP was replaced by SPS-8A in the 1950s. |
