Default Re: USMC OOB13 (v.7) - flame tanks and misc.

Suggest adding the SC Seahawk for the 2016 update for USMC OBAT; it was replacing the OS2U at a pretty fast clip -- per Naval Aeronautic Organization, 23 July 1945:

"For planning purposes BBU now using OS2U as substitutes for SC are assumed to be re-equipped with SC by Oct 1945.

...

"For planning purposes CAU now using OS2U or SOC as substitute for SC are assumed to be re-equipped with SC by Oct 1945."

...

"For planning purposes CLU now using OS2U or SOC as substitute for SC are assumed to be re-equipped with SC by Oct 1945."


Some units were already using it in the PTO in 1945; such as the Alaska Class Battlecruisers for one -- the ALASKA had SC's when she was operating off Iwo Jima during MAR 1945:

I did an icon of the SC; I don't know if it meets your quality standards but here goes... (see attached).

PS Don: How's your health been doing?
