How come?

How come a tail hook on an aircraft that has never seen a carrier?

Is Canada holding out here? does it have a super-secret carrier that no one
knows about?


No.

Look at CF-116 Freedom Fighters; they have hooks as well. The CF-188 has a
hook because arrestor systems are used on CF airfields in emergencies. (All
the same, the Ward Room in Halifax has a large display with the hooks of the
Seafire, the Sea Fury and Banshee. There is an open space for the next CF
carrier fighter.
