It operated from catapults on battleships and cruisers in both the Atlantic and Pacific, including the Aleutian Islands campaign. 
 
Key details regarding its use include:
Primary Roles: Scouting, observation, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), and rescuing downed pilots.
Deployment: Used extensively on U.S. battleships and cruisers to direct shore bombardment during Pacific island-hopping campaigns.
Rescue Missions: Famous for saving numerous airmen, including Eddie Rickenbacker.
Global Usage: Supplied to the British Royal Navy (as the Kingfisher I), Soviet Navy, Royal Australian Air Force, and various South American nations.
Operational Bases: Naval Air Station Pensacola was a primary base, alongside other coastal air stations. 
 
The Kingfisher was noted for its ability to operate from, and be recovered by ships.
