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 Two prototypes were completed, but the dedicated torpedo bomber was becoming an outdated concept, and with the end of World War II, the type was deemed unnecessary and cancelled.
