		Fairey then designed its successor, the Albacore, but rather than taking over the duties of the Swordfish, the Albacore served alongside it.
		The landing gear was the other unique design aspect of the Barracuda, with an odd L-shaped strut arrangement being used to provide as wide a track as possible without using up much wing space for the retraction mechanism.
		The first mission that brought attention to the Barracuda was an attack on the German battleship Tirpitz, when several squadrons made a surprise attack on the ship in a Norwegian fjord.
