Opano Radar Site
On December 7, 1941, an SCR-270B Radar located
at this site tracked incoming Japanese aircraft
for over 30 minutes until they were obscured
by the island ground clutter. This was the first
wartime use of radar by the United States Military,
and led to its successful application throughout
the theater.
