Usage
The Ar 196s were also used in the English Channel for air-sea rescues.
In 1940 two Ar 196s helped in the capture the HMS Seal submarine.The submarine had been damaged by a mine off the coast of Norway.Two Ar 196s based in Aalborg, Denmark attacked the submarine and prevented it from submerging.The Kriegsmarine then captured the submarine.
Warships
The Admiral Graf Spee was the first warship supplied with the Ar 196.1 Eventually all capital ships and heavy cruisers had them.
The battleships Bismark and Tirpitz had six Arado Ar 196s each.2 The Gneisenau and Scharnhorst each had four. Pocket battleships and light cruisers had two Ar 196s.2 Heavy cruisers had three Ar 196s on board.
Land Based
The Ar 196 was also used from land bases in the North Sea, Baltic, English Channel, and the Bay of Biscay.
Many Uses
The Ar 196 was used for coastal patrolling, reconnaissance, anti-submarine, light bombing, and convoy escorting.
Used in Which Countries
Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, and Romania all used the Ar 196.2
The Arado Ar 196 was to be the Heinkel He 50 replacement as it was becoming obsolete.The Ar 196 was originally to be carrier based but since no carrier was built it did server aboard the larger ships in the German Navy. Kriegsmarine put out specifications in 1936 for a plane that could be catapulted from a carrier.3 Focke Wulf and Arado submitted designs.3 Focke Wulf's was a bi-plane. Four prototypes of the Arado Ar 196s were ordered.
The Arado Ar 196's skeleton was of steel tubing.3 The rear of the fuselage was fabric covered with the rest being metal.
Trials were being completed just as the war started.
Wings
The wings had fabric covering the control surfaces with the rest being metal.
Floats
Each float had seven water tight compartments holding fuel.
