The earliest Seafires were Spitfires, with hooks and eventually folding wings, and there were even ‘hooked’ Spitfires (without the folding wings) that mainly served in training roles.

If there is any doubt you might ask yourself was the Sea Harrier a Harrier? There was a lot more visual difference between the GR1 and the SHar FRS1, even more with the GR3; and when you get to the later Harriers then they have little but a passing similarity between the GR1/GR3 and GR5 onwards, much like the later Spitfire/Seafires..
