The Lockheed T2V SeaStar, later called the T-1 SeaStar, is a carrier-capable jet trainer for the United States Navy that entered service in May 1957. It was developed from the Lockheed T-33, itself derived from the P-80 Shooting Star, and was powered by one Allison J33 engine. The Navy had used the T-33 for land-based training since 1949 but needed a trainer that could operate from aircraft carriers, which led to the Lockheed L-245. It was almost totally re-engineered for carrier work with a redesigned tail, a strengthened undercarriage with catapult fittings, a retractable arrestor hook, power-operated leading-edge flaps and a raised rear seat for the instructor. The demonstrator first flew on 16 December 1953 and deliveries began in 1956. Redesignated T-1A SeaStar in 1962, it was replaced by the North American T-2 Buckeye but stayed in service into the 1970s.
