    Morane-Saulnier did not abandon the parasol configuration but refined it in a series of trainers. The MS AR in its various versions was used world-wide, Poland, Belgium, Greece, Soviet Russia, in South America and the US. The US Navy purchased six (Bureau Nos. A-5977 to A-5981) in 1921 and allocated them to the Shipplane Squadrons as trainers for deck landing on the proposed aircraft carrier, the Langley. This example bears the McCook Field Number P.170 on its rudder and Army serial 64301 on its fuselage. McCook identified it as a Type XIV with an 80-hp Le Rhone rotary engine.
