USS Seahawk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No ship of the United States Navy has borne the name USS Seahawk although a World War I-era patrol boat was named the USS Sea Hawk.
There have been at least two ships named USS Seahawk in fiction.
The 1959 movie Submarine Seahawk is set on the eponymous World War II submarine, which is threatened with mutiny.
In the television show JAG, the aircraft carrier USS Seahawk (CVN-65) is a recurring location. The putative USS Seahawk is, in fact, the USS Enterprise (CVN-65).
However, there is a Seahawk in British service. HMS Seahawk is not a ship, but the name for Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose, at Helston in Cornwall. HMS Seahawk is one of only two shore establishments that play host to the Fleet Air Arm, the naval aviation component of the Royal Navy, and is thus very important in generating maritime airpower for Her Majesties Armed Forces and the UK as a whole.
