19 JUNE 1959 FLIGHT 29 SEA HAWK Long range Gun of Modern Navies The navies of the future will carry no big guns. Ultimately, the job of bombardment will be taken over by guided missiles; but in the years immediately ahead it will be handled by aircraft. Several of the fleets of NATO are equipping themselves on this modern pattern—equipping themselves with Sea Hawks. The Sea Hawk is the ideal strike aircraft. It can strike heavily—with rockets, bombs, cannon. It can strike far—having longer range than any comparable naval fighter. It can strike fast—either from a carrier or from a land base. Moreover, its uses are not confined to attack. Speed and manoeuvrability make it a most efficient naval interceptor. It is, in fact, an all-purpose fighter—and one which is notably easy to fly. Sea Hawks massed on deck of a Royal Navy Carrier. HAWKER SIDDELEY AVIATION LIMITED Richmond Road, Kingston-upon-Thames International Sales Office, Duke's Court, St. James's, London, S.W.I
