I am new here, but am enjoying reading the various posts and the high level of knowledge I see in them. While at work this question passed through my head- I know there was work on an Me-109 derivative ( Me-109 T ) as an intended fighter for the German aircraft carrier, but I don't ever recall of reading about any moves to investigate a FW-190 version for the carrier. Perhaps this was just due to the timeline of FW-190 development, but it seems like a worthwhile direction to at least investigate on the part of the Germans, given the wide track undercarriage of the FW-190 (vs the narrow track of the Me-109 ) and the history of undercarriage failures on the Me-109 series. Has anyone seen anything on a navalized FW-190 ? Yes, this is where my mind goes when I'm at work ....!
