It’s important to know that radar can potentially fail when the ship’s navigation systems get hit by a wayward thunderbolt (therefore leaving it blind) so it’s important to always have a secondary back-up system when it comes to navigating in extreme weather conditions. While I have no experience with using radar on a ship, I at least understand that navigating through rough waters on a ship can definitely be a scary thing to live through and that radar is there to help the people aboard the ship get around the area.
