for evaluation by the U.S. Navy in April 1936, at the same time as its primary competitor, the XSB2U-1. Comparative testing of the two aircraft during 1936 proved the complete superiority of the monoplane configuration; on the same power, the SB2U-1 was 15 miles per hour (24 km/h) faster despite

being larger and heavier than the biplane. However, the Navy was impressed by the XSB3U's method of landing gear retraction, which provided a more streamlined surface after retraction than most other methods used at the time.
