The Hawker Sea Hawk is a British Fleet Air Arm (FAA) single-seat jet fighter, the air arm of the Royal Navy (RN), built by Hawker Aircraft and its sister company Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft. Although the design stemmed from earlier Hawker piston-engine fighters, the Sea Hawk was the company's first jet aircraft.
Once accepted by the RN, the Sea Hawk proved to be a reliable and robust workhorse. A significant number were also produced for the export market and were deployed from aircraft carriers in Dutch and Indian service.
The last operational Royal Navy Sea Hawks were FGA.6 flown by the Airwork Limited-managed "Black" Fleet Requirements Unit at Bournemouth (Hurn) Airport which retired the type in 1969.
