(Technically the USS Wright (AV-1) )

Based on the Curtiss and Currituck-class Seaplane Tenders, and equipped with a Martin P5M-2 Marlin, armed with a single 5” turret, comes the US Navy Seaplane Tender (imaginative name indeed).

    @AerialFighterSnakes yes, although I'm thinking of uploading an unlisted version without the aircraft for multiplayer (although entirely untested)

    It’s been implemented, with a winch range further than Maywar to Snowstone (>85mi) @thefalkenreich

    @thefalkenreich i was thinking of that, but didn't get around to properly designing it, although I could try implementing it now

    1. Yes, both cranes utilise magnets and can lift the aircraft back on. The marlin starts pointing forwards, and requires the forward crane to be lifted off, so pictures of the marlin on the rear crane are after a flight, when it is being recovered

    2. I intended for the aircraft to be armed with ~6 torpedoes in the nacelle bays, although SP physics means the torpedoes aren't part of the aircraft and thus are not usable, so the aircraft is unarmed
