Navigating with other ships in close proximity is pretty common -- mostly when transiting into port, out of port, and through shipping lanes.
It is pretty silly that they didn't seem to realize that the radar wasn't tuned correctly. I wasn't a surface watchstander so I can't comment on the radar aspect in more detail. Normally inputs are taken from a variety of sensors, not just one busted radar.
