do you mean Sea Eagle? the Sea Hawk was a 1950`s vintage carrier jet of the Royal Navy that was very good in teh A2G role.

The Sea Eagle was an anti-ship missile derived from the Martel missile. The main difference was an active radar seeker (like the Exocet or Harpoon) and a turbojet engine.

Good source: en.wikipedia.org...

All UK Sea Eagles have been retired, mainly due to budget (the SDR made other excuses about meeting tomorrow's needs etc).

The although the missile got great write-ups it appears to have been a dissapointment although India is heavily committed. For some reason Royal Navy prefered Harpoon and Royal Air Force Nimrod patrol aircraft also got Harpoon not Sea Eagle. Saudi Arabia retired it early but not clear why.

Ship/ground launched version never found a customer.

Which govt?
China?
Oh.. Is that why he has unrestricted internet access?

Why, does the RoCAF or JASDF have the Sea Eagle?


Actually don't know of any operators other than India..

However this source claims that the missile goes supersonic(at some stage in flight?) to mach 1.1
