Prior to the realization of the impact of air power on naval warfare at the [[Battle of the Adonáire Strait]] in 1935, [[Urcea]] employed a number of airplanes designed exclusively for scouting and spotting information for the [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]]'s capital ships. The [[Canaery-class aircraft carrier|''Canaery''-class aircraft carrier]] was, consequently, designed to carry a large number of these small yet nimble scouting planes which had virtually no armament but carried photographic equipment. Following the battle, virtually all naval scout planes were retired and placed with purpose-built naval fighters and bombers. Some reconnaissance planes were also used in small numbers by the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] in the first years of the [[Second Great War]], but their use was phased out by late 1933. Of the three, the SSV-2 were built in the greatest numbers, and their larger size made them the only planes that could be jury-rigged for weapons during the [[Battle of the Adonáire Strait]]. The SSV-3 was the first monoplane in service in any branch of the [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]].
