Way to interrogate radar officer for contacts?

You can ask your sonar man for the contact information on the nearest sound contact or nearest warship contact.

Is there similar functionality for the radar man?

With map contacts off the radar is all but useless. With the A-scope trying to manually rotate the antenna and manipulate the range/sweep is very very difficult.

Is there a way to just ask the radar operator for the nearest radar contact?

I dont believe there is unfortunately. Radar functionality has always been a big point of contention about the game. It was modelled better in SH1! The radar is useless anyway and all it does is ring the dinner bell for all the hungry ASW sharks out there! I switch it off and leave it off. It only comes on in poor visibility to attempt to give me an advance warning of an escort pre metox. I have been ambushed in the fog before, never again!
