"the first purpose-designed anti-submarine warfare aircraft in the world"

No source is cited for this claim, and I think that it is at least open to debate. During WWI, the British developed the SS class airship specifically to counter U-boats, and by some definitions (including that given in the Wikipedia Aircraft) article) an airship is a type of aircraft. If a source can be found, this should probably be clarified, and without such a source, I don't think the 'first' claim should be made at all. 86.129.239.85 (talk) 03:51, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

I deleted the claim - Specification 23/23 (1923) was for a "Coastal patrol and anti-submarine flying-boat", which became the English Electric Kingston of 1924. There are other claimants prior to then, but not as explicitly stated. - NiD.29 (talk) 06:48, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Yup. There were also many maritime patrol aircraft in WWI used (rather than designed exclusively) for anti-submarine warfare: notably the Curtiss and Felixstowe flying boats, some of which were fitted with the recoilless Davis gun specifically for that purpose. I'm not sure it is even particularly meaningful to distinguish a 'maritime patrol' aircraft from an 'anti-submarine' one, at least before the advent of sonobuoys and similar equipment. Both could (assuming they were armed, which was generally the case) attack any enemy they located, and would presumably do so regardless of whether it was a submarine or a surface ship. 86.129.239.85 (talk) 17:31, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
