ORIGINAL: CobraAus Don I am finding several destroyers fitted with sea plane rails mainly over rear turrets when looking for art, I have not looked yet but have any of the destroyers been given this capabilty to use scout planes if historic would be very usefull Cobra Aus As far as I know this capability was never used in action. The U.S. abandoned it's test program and converted/re-ordered all units as regular Destroyers. I've seen conflicting reports as to the Dutch destroyers in the NEI - they have have retained the capability but I can find no record of it ever being used. Anyway- I don't think WITP can handle it. Don Hi, was curious about the seaplane capability of the Dutch destroyers myself some time ago. According to my sources they did not carry seaplanes (or at least the fittings) anymore in 1941 (btw, your right, sources are indeed somewhat sketchy about this). I'm at work now, if you're still interested I could give you the exact source (some book about WW2 destroyers, but have forgetten the name of the author) when back at home. K
