The Douglas XTB2D Skypirate was a torpedo bomber intended for service with the United States Navy’s Midway and Essex-class aircraft carriers. Two prototypes were completed, but the dedicated torpedo bomber was becoming an outdated concept, and with the end of World War II, the type was deemed unnecessary and cancelled.

The Blackburn B-5 Baffin biplane torpedo bomber was a development of the Ripon, the chief change being that a 545 hp (406 kW) Bristol Pegasus I.MS radial replaced the Ripon’s Napier Lion water-cooled inline engine. The Baffin was designed to meet a Fleet Air Arm requirement as a conventional two-seat single-bay biplane of mixed metal and wooden construction with fabric covering. It had swept, staggered, equal-span wings, the lower having an inverse gull to provide clearance for the torpedo while retaining a short undercarriage. Armament comprised one fixed, forward-firing 0.303 in (7.7 mm) Vickers machine gun and one free-mounted .303 in (7.7 mm) Lewis gun in the rear cockpit, plus one 2,000 lb (910 kg) bomb, or 1,576 lb (716 kg) Mk VIII or Mk IX torpedo, or three 530 lb (240 kg) or six 250 lb (110 kg) bombs.

A development of the Hawker Horsley, the Hawker Dantop was a three seat torpedo bomber built for the Danish Navy. Differences to the Horsley included the fitting of a Armstrong Siddeley Leopard 14-cylinder twin-row air-cooled radial engine, at the time the most powerful radial engine in the world. Additionally, the Dantorp had interchangeable wheeled or float undercarriage. Two aircraft were built for Denmark, which operated them from 1933 until the German invasion of 1940. Although a production licence was obtained, no more were built due to a shortage of funds.

The Naval Aircraft Factory SBN was a United States three-seat mid-wing monoplane scout bomber/torpedo aircraft. Designed by Brewster, as the Brewster XSBA-1 the company did not have capacity to manufacture the aircraft. It was therefore built under licence by the Naval Aircraft Factory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. as the SBN. One XSBA and 30 SBNs were built

First flying on 27 November 1944, the Boeing XF8B was capable of acting as an interceptor, long-range escort fighter, dive-bomber, and torpedo bomber. Armament was to consist of six 0.50 inch machine guns or six 20 mm wing-mounted cannons, and a 6,400 lb (2,900 kg) bomb load or two 2,000 lb (900 kg) torpedoes. Three prototypes were built, the first two being evaluated by the US Navy and the third by the USAAF. The end of World War Two and the advent of the jet engine resulted in the project being cancelled.
