The Navy version of the S-43 was called

the JRS-2. There were a number of them on Ford Island when Pearl Harbor was attacked and one of the surviving JRS-2's was eventually saved by the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. where it can be seen today. The seaplanes then looked just like the one in this photo as the

pre-war Navy had them in nice shiney

silver, with black hull and yellow wing trim. The red dot in the star insignia was eventually phased out during 1942,

but not completely until 1943.
