  2. The aircraft was designed to search out enemy fleets before they were accompanied by aircraft carriers.

    1. Yes, post aircraft carriers, they were death sentences for the crew.

    2. Pre-carrier recon. Several of our battleships were home to a couple of these Kingfishers. Launch and recovery equipment were astern.
