Giant 'golf ball' radar ship 'SBX' to monitor North Korea
The towering Sea-Based X-band Radar, a fixture at a Ford Island pier for most of the past year, left Pearl Harbor recently for the second time amid heightened concerns over North Korea’s missile program. Navy Region Hawaii said the 280-foot-tall radar tracking system got under way March 22 “to conduct routine systems checks at sea.” CNN, however, said the Pentagon made the decision to send the “SBX” and at least one ship to monitor North Korea’s moves. http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/20130401_Giant_golf_ball_radar_ship_to_monitor_North_Korea.html
