An aircraft carrier never turns on its own radar, nor do any of its escorting surface ships. The radar signal can be backtracked to its source; it's like lighting a match or a flashlight in the dark. Our flying services do this routinely; we have air-to-surface missiles that can backtrack a radar signal to its source and take out the radar set (and probably a number of members of the crew as well.) All radar surveillance is done by E-2C 'Hawkeye' radar planes. Their radar signals can be backtracked to their source as well, but all they do is give the enemy a general idea of where the carrier is, and by the time they worked out the exact location, F-14s would be in position to intercept any hostile aircraft. Further, the F-14s would not turn their radars on either; they'd get all of their interception instructions from the airborne Hawkeyes.
