[Tim]

*Here is an article I found real interesting. "Last combat of a WW2
submarine" – USS Catfish in Argentine service as "ARA Santa Fe" *

*in Falklands War 1982. Some mention of specific submarine electronics
equipment, SONAR and ASW too.*

Hi Hue - I've been playing with my AN/APR--1 radar surveillance receiver.
In researching its use, they were aboard Subs/Shipboard (as the SPR-1).
Including the USS Batfish which used it to help ID and sink the IJN Sub
RO-115 and probably 2 others.  The Australian Army also had a special unit
that was equipped with the APR-1 in ground Ops in the Phillipine op area to
detect, identify and locate Japanese shore based radars.  Altho not part of
the Coastwatcher Service per-se, they operated in a similar manner.
(deployed by PBY's, subs, landing craft..) A few details as I found them:

BTW, the APR-1 works great - fun to play with...
