A naval Warhawk?

I found these rare and amazing photos showing Curtiss P-40 Warhawk on the deck or operating on aircraft carriers. There was a naval version of this fighter? To see the photos, visit the link below:

Not a naval or navalised version. These were transported for the Army by the Navy on carriers for the invasion of North Africa and flown off when airfields were captured or otherwise available on shore. They were not landed back aboard the ships. Initial US air power in the invasion was provide by Navy aircraft, Wildcat fighters, Dauntless dive bombers.
