The Supermarine Walrus, also known as the Supermarine Seagull V, was a reconnaissance and rescue seaplane produced by the Supermarine Aviation Works, a British company known for designing iconic aircraft such as the Spitfire fighter.

The Walrus was designed in the 1930s and entered service with the British Royal Navy and Fleet Air Arm in 1935. It was an amphibious aircraft with the ability to take off and land from both solid surfaces (land or ship decks) and water. It was equipped with a radial engine and could carry a crew of usually two or three members.

This seaplane played a crucial role during World War II. It was mainly used for air reconnaissance missions, maritime patrols, search and rescue of downed crews, and resupply of ships at sea. It was particularly valued for its ability to operate in harsh marine environments and remote regions where conventional aircraft could not land or take off.

The Walrus was involved in numerous operations during the war, including search and rescue of downed pilots, anti-submarine patrols, troop evacuations, and message delivery in isolated areas. Because of its unique characteristics, the Walrus was often used by surface ships and submarines, which could carry these seaplanes as part of their equipment to expand reconnaissance and rescue capabilities.
