Actually, although it isn't published in the A/FD (But is published by
the John Wayne Tower Pilot/Controller Work Group, and appears in the
Air Guide Publications Flight Guide), KSNA, Santa Ana, California has
an intermediary controller between the Local (tower) Controller and
Departure Control (TRACON) called Radar Advisory. It is likely
specific to that airport. It is mentioned he

Departure Control, by any other name, is still departure control.


That comment reveals the fact that you failed to read the information

The intermediary controller between the Local (tower) Controller and
Departure Control (TRACON) called Radar Advisory is manned by tower
personnel; it is not Departure Control.

What does it matter where they're located? It's Class C airspace so they
have to provide Class C services. If it has the properties of departure
control it's departure control no matter what it's called.
