Eyes of the Fleet

Curtis scout-observation planes, ship-based, wing off on scouting missions over the sea. Catapulted from the deck, the chief mission of the SOCs is scouting the enemy and spotting gunnery fire. Termed the eyes of the fleet, scouting pilots extend the vision of shipboard officers hundreds of miles in every direction.
