The Aeromarine 700 was an early US Navy seaplane developed in 1917 to investigate the feasibility of using aircraft to launch torpedoes. The aircraft itself was a large biplane of conventional three-bay configuration equipped with two pontoons, powered by a 100 hp (75 kW) Aeromarine K-6. Only six examples were built (AS142-AS144, all of which were damaged early on, with parts of AS143 being used to repair AS440 of the 2nd batch , AS439-AS441.
