Curtiss XSO3C Seamew
The Curtiss SO3C Seamew was intended as a replacement for the SOC Seagull as the United States Navy's standard floatplane scout. Curtiss named the SO3C the Seamew, but in 1941 the US Navy began calling it by the name Seagull, the same name as the aircraft it replaced (the Curtiss SOC a biplane type - see Feb 19, 2010), causing some confusion. The British Royal Navy kept the Curtiss name, (Seamew), for the SO3C that they ordered. First flight 1939.
