A SOC-3A of VS-201, December 1941
SOC-3A Seagull touches down on USS Long Island in April 1942, celebrating the carrier's 2000th landing
SOC-3AAll SOC-4s were transferred to the U.S. Navy in 1942 (BuNo 48243, 48244, 48245, respectively), which modified them SOC-3A standard, meaning the fitting of a deck arrester gear.[12]
