The Short N.1B Shirl was a British single seat biplane intended to carry heavy torpedoes from early aircraft carriers late in World War I. It met its specifications but planned production was ended with the Armistice of 1918. The design was developed further for an attempt to cross the Atlantic non-stop for the first time, but this was not successful.The first ship-borne torpedo bomber, the Sopwith Cuckoo had been well received but was unable to carry the Royal Navy's 1,423 lb (645 kg)[1] Mark VIII torpedo that was required to destroy the largest warships.
