I took this from the USS Arizona Memorial. This radar was in Pearl Harbor and they were about to put it somewhere out in the Pacific.

Dont get on it. You may believe you had an alien encounter with your father, but no one will believe you. YWIA.

I now know what the Getner is. Thanks.
That's not a weather radar. It's the newest sea-based X-band radar (SBX) used for missile detection by the DoD. That bitch is self-propelled.

That's even cooler! The guy driving our boat said it was a radar and I assumed weather.
Thanks
