• I think it would be good for medium/long range reconnaissance [up to 2,500 km]  I dunno why, but I imagined a situation where this bird locates one of the Sen Toku japanese submarine aircraft carriers...  Also a good torpedo bomber  (Roddy1990)
• Is it a seaplane fighter or a civilian seaplane it's kind of hard to tell. (ONI-Defense)
