这 超级海洋海象 (originally known as the Supermarine Seagull V) was a British single-engine amphibious biplane reconnaissance aircraft designed by R. J. Mitchell and first flown in 1933. It was operated by the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) and also served with the Royal Air Force (RAF), Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) and Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF). It was the first British squadron-service aircraft to incorporate in one airframe a fully retractable main undercarriage, completely enclosed crew accommodation and all-metal fuselage.
Designed for use as a fleet spotter to be catapult launched from cruisers or battleships, the Walrus was later employed in a variety of other roles, most notably as a rescue aircraft for downed aircrew. It continued in service throughout the Second World War.

超级海军海鸥V是英国两栖双翼飞机,专为海军舰艇的侦察和发现任务而设计。它也被称为Supermarine海象,它是Supermarine生产的最后一艘双翼飞行船。海鸥五号于1933年首飞,1935年进入澳大利亚皇家空军服役,随后是皇家海军,皇家空军和其他英联邦空军。海鸥V有一个劳斯莱斯发动机,驱动两个反向旋转的螺旋桨,还有一个可伸缩的起落架,允许它降落在水上和陆地上。
海鸥五号有四名机组人员,可以携带炸弹、深水炸弹或照明弹。它在第二次世界大战期间被用于各种角色,例如海上巡逻,海空救援,反潜战和护航。海鸥V也能够进行特技飞行,正如其在1933年航展上的试飞员所证明的那样。海鸥V最终被更现代化的飞机和直升机所取代,并于1940年代后期退役。
