The Vought XO5U-1 (BuNo 9399) parked on land. "The United States Navy contracted three companies to produce prototypes to meet a requirement for a catapult launched biplane, with a central float and folding wings. Douglas produced the XO2D-1, Curtiss the XO3C-1 and Vought the XO5U-1. It was powered by a single Pratt & Whitney R-1340-12 piston engine and first flew on May 8, 1934." It lost to the Curtiss O3C-1, which became the Curtiss SOC Seagull.
