Apparently only 7 of the 70 T's built were T-1's, and some of these may have been updated to T-2 spec. Not sure how reliable this info is.

Good morning Peter,

thanks for your answer.
When they deleted the arrestor hook, did they abandon the idea of using the T on a carrier ?

Have a nice Friday,

Michael
