Consolidated-Vultee TBY Sea Wolf
This was to be the production version of the TBU. The USN required serveral changes,
including an engine change. The TBY demonstrated a better performance than the TBF, but
flew first in 1944, had numerous technical faults, and was not very suitable for carrier
operations. The TBY was only operated by training units.
