User:AN.FSQ-7/SPS-48B
The AN/SPS-48B is noted as being installed on the Nimitz class aircraft carriers prior to the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72).[1][2]
The Spruance-class destroyer, known in development as the DX, was designed with accommodations for replacing the AN/SPS-40B radar with the AN/SPS-48B for the DXG variant. This variant eventually became the Kidd-class destroyer, though it is unclear if it received the SPS-48B variant in practice.[3][4]
