Description

The sole Republic XTSN-1 Thunderguard competed against the Grumman XTS2F-1 Swallowcat [link] for a little-known naval twin-jet torpedo-scout competition of 1946.

Also see the McDonnell XP-67B Jet Moonbat [link]

Actually the U.S. Navy did not have a manufacturers designation for Republic Aircraft. Republic tried to sale a version of their P-35 to the Navy. The aircraft was the Seversky (pre-Republic) XNF-1.
