Carrier-borne Aircraft

The Messerschmitt Me 109T was the carrier version of the legendary fighter plane. It was designed to provide fighter cover for naval task forces and escort friendly bombers.
The Junkers Ju 87C was the naval cousin of the famous Stuka dive-bombing. It would attack enemy vessels by dive-bombing as it would attack a ground target.
The Messerschmitt Me 155 was originally a carrier-borne high-performance fighter being developed by Messerschmitt. Later the Air Ministry handed the project to Blohm & Voss, which built a prototype as the Bv 155.
