Early S-band RADAR Designations[51]

DesignationWavelengthPlatform
CXAM150-cmlarge surface ships
SK-1large surface ships
SK-2large surface ships
SC50-cmsurface ships
SF10-cmtoo heavy for intended use on PT boats, but used on larger ships
SG10-cmsurface ships
SJ10-cmsubmarines
SM3-cmaircraft carriers for direction of night-fighters
SO10-cmPT boats
SU3-cmDestroyer escorts

From February 1943 the US used a universal system to identify radar variants, consisting of three letters and a number, respectively designating platform, type of equipment, function, and version. This system was continued after WWII with multiservice designations being prefixed by 'AN/' for Army-Navy.BuShips 1943 classifications

AAircraft, used in combination with other letters
BIFF
CExperimental
DDirection-finding
EEmergency power
