Conceived as a replacement for the ageing Fairey Swordfish, the Albacore (popularly known as the "Applecore) served with the Swordfish and was retired before it, being replaced by the Fairey Barracuda and Grumman Avenger monoplane torpedo bombers. Despite this, the Albacore served the Royal Navy during a critical period of World War II.
