The Seafire was the navalized version of the famous Spitfire. The initial Mk.Is were converted from Spitfire VBs for the Torch landings in North Africa. Later versions were purpose built as carrier aircraft. The Seafire was unfortunately not a success, lacking the sturdy undercarriage required for carrier operations and having a rather short range. However, it stood at least some chance against the Zero, which could not be said of the other British carrier fighter of that period, the Fulmar.
