Dassault MD.455 Marin
The MD.455 Marin is a navalized variant of the Dassault MD.451 Ouragan II. The Marin received doubled main and nose wheels, reinforced landing gear, folding wings, and a tailhook. Some attempts were made during production to increase the aircraft's effective operating range. The final aircraft was heavier than the original Ouragan, and had a lower top speed and rate of climb.
The Marin entered service with the Aeronavale in September of 1947, re-equipping part of the fighter groups of the carriers Bucentaure and Conquérant beginning in early 1948. However, its limitation of low range meant that it could never fully replace the propeller-driven Dassault Milan. Lessons learned on the Marin, as well as the other early French jets, were eventually incorporated into the Dassault Mistral, which appeared in 1950.
