彗星
The [b]Yokosuka D4Y Suisei[/b] (彗星, "Comet", Allied nickname "Judy") was an [[Imperial Japanese Navy]] [[dive bomber]], built to replace the older Aichi [[D3A]] Type 99.

While it was designed from the onset as a dive bomber, the first examples flew in the [[battle of Midway]] as a reconnaissance craft due to some flaws until it was corrected and cleared for dive bombing. Its high speed also made it valuable as an improvised interceptor with an upward-mounted cannon (post #4449223), but it shared the same fragility as [[A6M Zero|other]] [[G4M|planes]] of their time.
