    Also they did have radar signatures of the attack incoming but radar tech was new and they didn’t trust it.

      Please tell me you’re being facetious, because radar has been in use for more than 80 years.

        80 years ago is the 1940’s. But the report was ignored due to lack of training. The way I heard, it was due to radar being relatively new, untested, and thus untrusted.

          I’m confused. When did this conversation divert to Pearl Harbor?

            I think they responded to the wrong person. There’s a pearl harbor tangent happening above this.

        I believe that radar should be read as radar system. That is to say it was a new radar system that had not been fully learned yet not that radar as a concept was new.
