The Sea Venom filled a role distinct from the single-seat Sea Hawk by carrying two crew and supporting all-weather operations. It combined four 20 mm cannon with rockets or bombs and approached 576 miles per hour at sea level. Some examples also served in electronic-warfare duties, extending the type beyond interception and attack. Its capabilities show how early carrier jets were already separating into specialized operational roles.
