Detach 1 for torpedo launch. Gun in back is for show. The Douglas TBD Devastator was a design for a torpedo bomber/dive bomber, however at the start of World War II it was already outclassed, yet still remained in service. It was pulled out after the battle of Midway and replaced with the TBF Avenger and SBD Dauntless.
