The T-45 Goshawk is a carrier-qualified version of the British Aerospace Hawk Mk.60. It was redesigned as a trainer for the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC). The initial redesign included stronger landing gear and airframe to withstand the loads imposed by catapult launches and high sink-rate landings. A catapult tow bar attachment was added to the oleo strut of the new two-wheel nose gear. Other additions were an arresting hook, an increased span tailplane, side-mounted airbrakes, and the addition of stabilator vanes, known as 'Side Mounted Upper Rear Fuselage Strakes to stabilize flow over the stabilator with speed brakes extended.. further external changes: a single ventral fin in front of the arrestor hook, a 6-inch extension to the tail fin, squared-off wing tips and leading-edge slats. -Wikipedia
