Only one airplane was built for the Navy and the first flight was in 1934.  This plane was a reworked O3U-6 that could be configured as amphibian with folding wings.  The Navy tested it for 3 years, while wrestling with the single wing/dual wing requirement for carrier aircraft, before rejecting it.
