The Vought SB2U Vindicator was a carrier-based dive bomber developed for the United States Navy in the 1930s, the first monoplane in this role. Obsolescent at the outbreak of World War II, Vindicators still remained in service at the time of the Battle of Midway, but by 1943, all had been withdrawn to training units. It was known as the Chesapeake in Royal Navy service.

A number of them were destroyed during the Bombing of Pearl Harbor, and they were gradually replaced by SBD Dauntlesses as the war drew on. However several saw combat during the Battle of Midway, causing minor damage to a Japanese battleship. This was the only fighting the SB2U participated in. As they were phased out from active duty, many were instead used in training roles, a purpose it served well.

abstract	The Vought SB2U Vindicator was a carrier-based dive bomber developed for the United States Navy in the 1930s, the first monoplane in this role. Obsolescent at the outbreak of World War II, Vindicators still remained in service at the time of the Battle of Midway, but by 1943, all had been withdrawn to training units. It was known as the Chesapeake in Royal Navy service. By the time the United States entered World War II, the Vindicator was becoming obsolete. A number of them were destroyed during the Bombing of Pearl Harbor, and they were gradually replaced by SBD Dauntlesses as the war drew on. However several saw combat during the Battle of Midway, causing minor damage to a Japanese battleship. This was the only fighting the SB2U participated in. As they were phased out from active duty, many were instead used in training roles, a purpose it served well. Only one Vindicator is known to have survived to the present day. The aircraft, SB2U-2 BuNo. 1383, was the last to be delivered to the US Navy. It ditched in Lake Michigan during practice operations from the training carrier USS Wolverine (IX-64). During the 1990s, it was raised and restored, and is now on display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida.
