German U-boat U-64 was sunk in the Herjangsfjord near Narvik, Norway, in approximate position 68°29'N, 17°30'E, by a bomb from Swordfish aircraft L 9767 carried on the British battleship HMS Warspite (Capt. V.A.C. Crutchley, VC, DSC, RN).
Most shipboard aircraft that were catapult launched seemed to have been used for reconnaissance and artillery spotting with very occasionally the odd bomb like the swordfish from HMS Warspite carried.
What if they were given more of a punch .
I imagine that torpedoes are a bit of a,stretch due to weight restrictions and how catapults generally worked.
So what I'm thinking is to mount RP 3 on the spotter aircraft so giving them an extra punch
Or were they more valuable in a gun spotting than strike role
Would rocket armed Walrus have been unfeasible.
