  BAe Hawk
BAe managed to sell the Hawk to the USN as the T-45 Goshawk, but considerable modifications were required to make this aircraft carrier-capable.
However, "Hawk" was a simple name, and easy to put in flight logbooks; the RAF Staff College emblem featured the Egyptian hawk god Horus; and apparently there were officials who thought that naming aircraft after universities was a bit stuffy, too, or at least wouldn't have much appeal for export sales.
BAE pitched the Hawk to the USN in 1978, leading to a formal partnership agreement with MDD in 1980, and selection of the Hawk from a wide field of competitors in 1981.

  BAE Hawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BAE Hawk is an advanced jet trainer which first flew in 1974 as the Hawker-Siddeley Hawk.
The Hawk has excellent manoeuvrability, and while it is not capable of supersonic speed in level flight, it can attain Mach 1.2 in a dive, allowing trainees to experience transsonic handling without the cost of a supersonic trainer.
The Hawk 200 is a single seat, lightweight multirole combat fighter with emphasis on air defence, air superiority, anti-shipping, air-denial, long range interdiction, short range close air support, strike with smart weapons and a lead-in trainer for aircraft such as the Eurofighter Typhoon, F-15, F-16, Tornado, and Gripen to name a few.

By 1980, the Hawk was established as the RAF advanced trainer and tactical weapons trainer.
By 1980, the BAe Hawk equipped 4 FTS in the advanced training role at RAF Valley, 1 and 2 TWU at RAF Brawdy and Chivenor respectively in the Tactical Weapons training role and 2 Central Flying School units.
This concept in fact changed before the Hawks were equipped and in its final form, which is still in use in 2001 is for the Fighters to operate with dedicated hawks, using their radar and other equipment to set up the engagements until the Hawks can gain visual contact with the enemy.

 Bae Hawk T.Mk.1A by Michael Johnson (Premier 1/48)
By the early 1980’s the Hawk was the principal trainer of the RAF and the mount of choice for the world renowned Red Arrows.
My attraction to the Hawk began when I was a raw modeller of 14, at that time I had three of the Matchbox 1:72 Hawks in various stages of construction and I still have one of them, a Red Arrows version, with me today.
It is clear upon studying the sprues that Premiere intended to release different versions of the Hawk, perhaps the Hawk 200 or the demonstrator version of the USN T-45 Goshawk as the fuselage is made up from 7 separate parts (more on that later).

 Hawk Country by Michael Rondot The BEST in Aviation Limited Edition Art www.AvCollect.com
With the arrival of the first Hawk aircraft at RAF Valley in November 1976, a new era of RAF flying training began, and the first of thousands of fast-jet Pilots discovered the joys of flying this truly thoroughbred aircraft.
At low level it settled comfortably at 450 knots at around 150 feet and it could be flown into the valleys under the most frightening weather safe in the knowledge that it could be turned around without losing airspeed almost in its own length.
The outstanding handling and agility of the Hawk made it a joy to fly in any situation, but for most Hawk Pilots nothing compares with the "knife fight in a telephone box" excitement of Hawk versus Hawk low-level tactical evasion training in the mountainous terrain as portrayed in HAWK COUNTRY.
