Catapult P Mark VI
In the twenties of the twentieth century, the U.S. Navy tested several types of catapults for launching observation and scout-observation floatplanes from ships. The Navy tested two variants of a catapult drive – a compressed air powered type and gun powder powered type (using an 8'' (203mm) artillery shell). Thus, two series of catapults A (Air) and P (Gun Powder) were designed. Catapult P Mark IV (1924) which was placed on the battleship’s gun turret was followed by the turntable variant type P Mark V (1927). The full production version had a light steel structure; type P Mark VI, commonly known as P-6. Developed at the Naval Aircraft Factory catapult P-6 was produced in a number of 165 units in plants of the Bartlett Harvard Division of the Koppers Company.
With this catapult all floatplanes used on Battleships and Cruisers within the thirties and forties of the twentieth century (O2U - late, O3U, SOC, OS2U, SO3C, SC-1) could be launched.
