Radar changed how navies coordinated at sea

A correction about radar leads into the importance of PPI displays and Type 276 radar for navigation, coordination, and air defense.

A correction to Norman Friedman's work sharpens the discussion of radar displays and naval command. PPI presentation and Type 276 radar helped destroyers and larger ships navigate and coordinate their movements. These electronics changed the information available to officers and the way they controlled operations at sea.
