The swordfish was designed as a spotter-reconnaissance and torpedo aircraft for operations from landbases and aircraft carriers. The Albacore introduced into naval service in 1940 was intended as a direct replacement. More modern in appearance but retaining a biplane layout it equipped several FAA squadrons.
