1156-class LST radar array
Posted by retdfeuerwehr on Tuesday, December 17, 2019 3:47 PM

I've been all over the internet but keep coming up empty....does anyone out there have any idea what kinds of radar an 1156-class LST would have. I served aboard USS WINDHAM COUNTY (LST1170), but never actually looked at the mast with an eye towards building a model later....I have a few pics, but have no idea what types they are. I assume we had both surface search and air, but don't know the numbers for them. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.  TIA

Thank you for your service.

Here's a good photo that I found on Navsource.

That looks like an SPS-10. I'm no expert.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

I agree.  That would be the SPS-10 surface search with no air search radar.
