Does the B-52 have a surface-search radar, or does it have targeting data fed to it via a P-3 or something when it's carrying Harpoons?

I couldn't find anything conclusive, but it looks like it co-ordinates with other aircraft when carrying Harpoons.

It does have radar, the AN/APG-166, which can be used to find targets on the surface.
If this is used to find ships though IDK :/ --------------------

P-3s.
P-3 acting as fire control for B-52s is lulz. --------------------

Yeah, they've been used for maritime patrol before.
Edit: No, wait, that's a mix-up w/ the P-3 carrying harpoons vs B-52 on maritime patrol. -------------------- |
