Did any Vindicators serve as torpedo bombers using the MK. 13 torpedos in WWII?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter!

I checked my Squadron/Signal SB2U Vindicator in action and didn't saw any trace of torpedo of any kind in it! The "Wind Indicator" was designed as a scout bomber and the delivering of the unreliable MK. 13 torpedos was the job of the TBD Devastator...
Sorry, but I'm afraid this won't help you a lot!
