-The Swordfish Mk.II is the successor of the Swordfish Mk.I, the primary carrier-based torpedo bomber of the Royal Air Force. Despite being extremely obsolete by the outbreak of the Second World war, the Swordfish remained a crucial asset to the Fleet Air Arm. The Swordfish Mk II was developed as the second Swordfish iteration and was first introduced in 1943. It was fitted with a new, metal lower wing section, allowing it to carry rockets on underwing racks.<ref name=":0" /> The Swordfish Mk II saw extensive service as a convoy escort, in the Atlantic and in the Arctic. During the course of the Second World War, the Swordfish distinguished itself as a highly reliable reconnaissance and torpedo bomber aircraft. It managed to sunk several German submarines and was used to harass Axis convoys.

 It was introduced during [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]] as a reward for the [[wt:en/news/6703-event-winner-vehicles-for-the-victory-anniversary-en|2020 "Victory Day"]] event. The Swordfish Mk II can be helpful for inexperienced players who want to learn how to effectively destroy ground targets using bombs and unguided rockets. This is due to its low speed and excellent manoeuvrability, which make it easier for new players to aim and target ground units accurately. The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is an improved version of the Fairey Swordfish biplane torpedo bomber. It is equipped with eight underwing pylons that allow it to carry the AP Mk I rocket and the famous RP-3 rocket.
