I thought doppler was about useless over water. (?)
Just repeating 'war stories' from the F-105G guys...

That would seem to be unlikely, as PACAF spec'd doppler sets for 'their'
F-100Ds and Fs, dash -20s, specifically for overwater navigation out of

the leading edge of the fin, just aft of where the fairing joins the fin
proper.
