: 10 F6-F5 Hellcat fighters arrived to Uruguay on 22 April 1
: 952, in flight from NAS Fort Worth. They wore the USN over
: all blue color scheme originally, but later on received an
: upper green scheme, with light gray undersurfaces. The to
: tal number listed in some records is 12. I am looking for
: serials / BuNos. Not much is known about the disposal of
: these aircraft.

: During the same general period of time, the Uruguayan Navy
: also acquired 16 TBM Avengers and 3 N.A.A. SNJs; it also
: operated PBM Mariners (3) for search and rescue.
