As aviation requirements expanded, float-equipped versions such as the He 51B-2 were adapted for naval use and operated from coastal bases or warships. These aircraft served primarily during the Interwar period and early pre-war years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeinkel He 51B-2 - German Naval Floatplane Fighter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe floatplane variant allowed the He 51 to operate over water and support naval units.
