Good luck finding a 1920s warship designed with a radar...

Anyway, radar was only a part of the problem, and although in this circumstances it could've helped (by detecting the Mediterranean Fleet, allowing Zara and the other ships to turn around, and cutting the losses down to the lone Pola), it wouldn't have solved the inferiority that the Italian ships suffered in night battles.

Besides, I think that the Americans showed that the radar isn't a cure-all, at Savo.
