Introduction
新型水上戦闘機の実戦投入までの繋ぎとして、零式艦上戦闘機をベースに急遽開発/実戦投入された水上戦闘機です。カタパルトによる艦上運用を考慮した機材ではありませんでしたが、本機は機体及びフロート強度を改良強化して投入です。
This is a seaplane fighter rush developed and put into service using the Type 0 Carrier-based Fighter as a base, meant as a stopgap until new model seaplane fighters can be put into service. It's not an aircraft that was designed with shipborne operations via catapult in mind, but its body and float strength were improved for this use.
