The Royal Navy standardised aircraft naming with the United States naby. Which the Tarpon renamed to Avenger as the aircraft began to see frontline service on British carriers. Used in support of raids against the Tirpitz in norway and in the far east where the Barracuda was rendered woefully ineffective by the heat. Fleet Air Arm Avengers launched the longest ranged strike by that force of the war to attack the heavy cruiser Haguro on may 14 1945. Damaging the cruiser for loss of 1 aircraft. The following night Allied destroyers would corner and destroy the cruiser, the last major japanese loss outsode mome waters of the war.
