A Naval P-47?


Looking for naval fighters on the web I found this article with pictures of Republic P-47 Thunderbolts embarked on aircraft carriers. There was a naval version of this plane? The report and photos, never seen by me before, can be viewed at the link below:

probably an Escort Carrier (CVE) to be flown off and then used as the land based aircraft as designed.
