From information from the family of 15th veteran John Moriarty, the
15th Signal Radar Maintenance Unit stationed at the Signal Depot, Fort Shafter, Hawaii.

The unit installed and serviced radars at Pearl Harbor and Kanehoe Naval Air Station. They also installed and maintained the radars for the coastal batteries at Mokapu Point on Oahu.
