The B5N2 has an unbelievably low stall speed.  You can set it down on the CV with practically no forward momentum relative to the CV.

Its freaky.

Heh, ramps eh? Sorry Bonden I think I dragged you down into my liliputlian world there for a minute :D
There was one seaplane nicknamed the 'Flying Porcupine' due to the inordinate amount of guns sticking out of it. Quick link http://www.vectorsite.net/avsund.html Could be too big for those cleats though ;)
