It was placed into service in late 1942, and by 1944 it had also been adapted for use on surfaced submarines. With some 1,000 sets eventually being built, the Type 13 was by far the most used air- and surface-search radar of the Imperial Navy. The Type 14 was a shipboard system designed for long-range, air-search applications.

SK was a very high frequency search set for large ships. It furnished range and bearing of surface vessels and aircraft, and it could be used for control of interception. The set had both "A" and PPI scopes, provisions for operating with remote PPIs and for IFF connections, and built-in BL and BI antenn

Side view of an AN/APS-4 radar pod without its shell. The AN/APS-4, originally known as ASH (air-surface, model H) is an early military air-to-air and air-to-surface radar used by American and British warplanes during World War II. APS-4 operated in the X band at 3 cm, compared to the 10 cm S band used by most radars of the era. This allowed ...
