Radar from the 60s

How good was shipborne radar in the 60s against a 2003 airforce? For example, could a 1964 ship detect an incoming modern strike
before the explosions began in the face of modern ACM.

A ship with 60s radar is useless against a 2003 airforce, unless
you're talking about a Vietnamese Air Force.

The only radars ships had back then were air search and tracking,
surface search, and missle guidance.

But likewise 2003 Airforce Radar is equally useless against 2003 Navy Radar.


I ask both because I'm curious about the past and because there are navies out
there using old-fashioned technology.

All navies use some technology dating back to at least the 5th Century BC.
It wasn't until the mid 19th century that navies even started to
use anything other than sails, compasses, knives, swords,
spears, fish barrels, and knots as their primary weapons.

And there's also armies out there using 10th Century technology,
and some of them are still winning wars, even against 21st Air Forces.
