Ok, if nobody will step up to the plate....
I'm looking for an airplane.
1. Although eventually flown by three of four branches of the armed forces of its home country, it initially started out with a very specific shipboard mission
2. Oddly enough, the country that operated the bulk of these aircraft was not the country that developed it, although it did serve with that country also
3. While numerous aircraft were lost in mishaps and due to combat, no crewmembers were killed
