Why are the radars rotating while they are loading ammo/missiles?

Maybe the Primary Radar is not transmitting, and just the SSR operating which is low power. But very good question.Ron5 wrote:Why are the radars rotating while they are loading ammo/missiles?

After two years of wear and tear on operations the mighty Defender is getting a new lick of paint. Will be looking as good as new in a matter of days.

Looking at the condition of the paintwork I have enclosed this article that suggests the binders used for the R.A.N are more durable and as the R.N may travel to warmer climates perhaps a change is needed

HMS Dauntless (D33) seen in dry dock at Cammell Laird on 21/9/20. No sign of the hull being cut open for diesel generator removal/replacement as yet. Adjacent is RFA Tidesurge (A138) - she has now been moved from the basin into another dry dock.
