Short "Shirl" designed in 1918 to carry an 18" torpedo against enemy shipping. It could take off from land or ship and was fitted with airbags to enable it to float on water. This one was fitted with commercial mail carrier in lieu of a torpedo. However the navy decided against it and production was discontinued.
