  P6M SeaMaster
The Martin SeaMaster was designed in the early 1950s as a jet-powered seaplane bomber which could carry a nuclear weapon from virtually any body of water; lack of super-carriers at the time prevented the U.S. Navy from having a major strategic weapons strike force to compete with the Air Force and its long-range bombers.
Seamaster would be used initially as a low-power, modest-performance seaplane for antisubmarine warfare and radar early warning, but experience with aircraft nuclear propulsion, the Navy predicted, would eventually lead to a high-speed attack plane.
The P6M had the same variable-incidence "flying" T-tail and spoiler ailerons as the XB-51, and its payload was carried in a rotating bomb-bay, pneumatically sealed to be watertight.

 P6M SeaMaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Envisaged as a way to give the US Navy a strategic nuclear force, the SeaMaster was eclipsed by the much more credible threat of the Polaris submarine launched ballistic missile.
In the immediate postwar defense climate, the US Air Force's Strategic Air Command was the linchpin of the United States' security as the sole means of delivery of the nation's nuclear arsenal.
The P6M program had already cost $400 million (about $2.5 billion in 2004 dollars) and could not be justified without the strategic mission.

The Martin P6M Seamaster was an American flying-boat reconnaissance bomber produced from 1959 to 1960 for the US Navy.
The Martin P6M was powered by four Pratt and Whitney J75-P-2 turbojets providing a top speed of 960 kmh and a range of 4830 km.
The Martin P6M was manned by a crew of four and armed with two 20 mm cannons.

Seamasters deployed with the Fleet might be dispersed in small units within striking distance but out of the range of surprise attack.
When the Seamaster is down on the water the wing tips touch the surface and these floats provide additional stability.
The importance attached to this ability by defense officials marks the resumption of P6M tests as a significant advance in the development of a major new ASW striking weapon.

 Martin P6M Seamaster - USA
The engines were mounted in such a way as to prevent ingestion of the water spray pattern into the engine air-intake ducts and the wing-tip floats were integral, enlarged parts of the drooped wing configuration.
These floats served additionally as wing-tip plates and in the mooring and docking of the Seamaster they played an important role in picking up the mooring buoy which was the key to swinging the aircraft, almost automatically, into the floating beaching gear or into a dock, whichever system was being used at the time.
The Seamaster project was terminated in the autumn of 1959.

Even though it is nearly 45 years ago I still remember the scream of those engines and watching this great plane take off from the water.
My uncle was the chief test pilot for that particular Seamaster.
Through my father and Stan Piet,(author of perhaps the most in-depth book on the subject) it is my understanding that the crew was recovered 18 days after that tragic day on December 20th 1955.

Two of the more interesting exercises were a pair of advanced seaplanes, the Martin "SeaMaster" flying boat and the Convair "Sea Dart" hydro-ski fighter.
The production SeaMaster featured more powerful non-afterburning Pratt and Whitney J75-P-2 turbojet engines with 77.89 kN (7,940 kgp / 17,500 lbf) max thrust each, providing a total increase of 53.36 kN (5,440 kgp / 12,000 lbf) thrust, and permitting a substantial increase in gross weight.
The material on the SeaMaster was originally derived from notes published by the Glenn L. Martin Aviation Museum.

The P6M Seamaster was an excellent plane and capable of transonic speed, actually went supersonic once it a dive.
The P6M was supposedly able to operate 85 % of days in the North Atlantic, better elsewhere.
P6M was not cancelled because of any defects of the plane but because the 'carrier admirals' saw it as a threat to the strategic (nuclear) role of of carrier aviation.
