Actually, it saw limited service in Italy also. Some examples were adapted to be launched from ships, much like the British Hurricat, the only difference being… the ships: merchantmen for the Hurricat, capital battleship for the Re2000. Having long range, the 2000 Catapultabile was supposed to reach shore after completing its mission.
A dozen "2000 GA" (Grande Autonomia, Long Range) were used from land bases and, apparently, obtained just one confirmed kill, against an RAF Blenheim.
