They still require a radar endorsement if you maintain shipboard radar. If  
you have a General and take commercial element 9 (the old broadcast  
endorsement) they give you a GMDSS  Maintainer's license. This is what  replaced the 
commercial Radiotelegraph licenses. Usually you find the Ship Radar  endorsement 
on this license this is sort of the new first class license.
