Adams class destroyers, Hatakaze class destroyers, Tarawa class amphibious assault ships, Wasp class amphibious assault ships, Galveston class cruisers, Providence class cruisers and other ships. It was replaced by the AN/SPS-48 on newer ships and ships that received upgrades. The antenna is mechanically rotated for azimuth but electronically scanned for elevation.
