LO, IIRC, "Hack the Shad" was precisely the original rationale for the SHAR on a "thru-deck ASW escort carrier" - up threat and able to engage the Bear-D at short notice when it could slip in and out of radar cover of the CV before their onboard aircraft/CAPs could react and engage.

Oooooh - this is just like the good old days......
