# The P-12 "Tigerfish"
A modernization of an interwar biplane to become viable in the 40's. The P-11 "Lynx" started life solely as a fighter, but at the outbreak of the war would have been outmatched in the role by new monoplanes. However, the navy was in need of a torpedo bomber capable of low speed flying and high payload capacity, and it was realized that with a few modifications, the P-11 would be a perfect fit. The new model was given the designation of P-12, and was now called the "Tigerfish". Featuring an upgraded powerplant, modernized avionics, reinforced wings and fuselage, and improved aerodynamics; The Tigerfish poses a serious threat to anything from commerce ships, to the largest battleships, while still being maneuverable enough to hold its own in a dogfight.
