I was just wondering about the military use of seaplanes. I the JMSDf,
and Soviets use them.(Shin Mewia, Be-12Mail, repsectively).  But what
about other navis/airforces, why aren't using them.  Secondly, why was
the Martin Seamaster, program cancelled. Are seaplanes are viable
and/or effetive in term ASW etc, for used. OR are there other reason
behind their lack of popularity.

	[So who wants to tell about the ill-fated sea-landing fighter
	 plane this time around? :-)  --CDR]

Thanks in advance
