I could not relocate what I read, that radar was more accurate than visual.
I hope the Navy don't read this. On Naval ships the visual plot is the plot that take Navy ships in and out of danger harbor waters, the radar is the secondary back up. I was always the one on the visual and after coming in to port, I checked the radar plot using my visuals to keep them sharp. This is true on all Naval ships.
