The Nakajima B5N (Japanese: 中島 B5N Allied reporting name Kate) was the standard torpedo bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) for much of World War II. Although the B5N was substantially faster and more capable than its Allied counterparts the TBD Devastator Fairey Swordfish and Fairey Albacore it was nearing obsolescence by 1941. Nevertheless the B5N operated throughout the whole war due to the delayed development of its successor the B6N.
