Several P-80A Shooting Stars{{#tag:ref|Aviation historian Norman Polmar states three, but Joseph Baugher lists serial and bureau numbers for four: 44-85000 and −85005 became 29667 and 29668 with 44-85235 and 45-8557 becoming 29689 and 29690.|group=N}} were transferred to the United States Navy beginning 29 June 1945, retaining their P-80 designations. At [[Naval Air Station Patuxent River]], one Navy P-80 was modified with required add-ons, such as an [[arrestor hook]], and loaded aboard the aircraft carrier {{USS|Franklin D. Roosevelt|CV-42|6}} at [[Norfolk, Virginia]], on 31 October 1946. The following day the aircraft made four deck-run takeoffs and two catapult launches, with five arrested landings, flown by [[United States Marine Corps|Marine]] Major [[Marion Eugene Carl|Marion Carl]]. A second series of trials was held on 11 November.<ref name="Polmar pp. 12–14">Polmar 2001, pp. 12–14.</ref>

The U.S. Navy had already begun procuring its own jet aircraft, but the slow pace of delivery was causing retention problems among pilots, particularly those of the Marines who were still flying [[Vought F4U Corsair]]s. To increase land-based jet-transition training in the late 1940s, 50 F-80Cs were transferred to the U.S. Navy from the U.S. Air Force in 1949 as jet trainers. Designated TO-1 by the Navy (changed to TV-1 in 1950), 25 were based at [[Naval Air Station North Island]], California, with [[VF-52]], and 16 assigned to the Marine Corps, equipping [[VMF-311]] at [[Marine Corps Air Station El Toro]]. These aircraft were eventually sent to reserve units. The success of these aircraft led to the procurement by the Navy of 698 T-33 Shooting Stars (as the TO-2/TV-2) to provide a two-seat aircraft for the training role. Lockheed went on to develop a carrier-capable version, the [[T2V SeaStar]], which went into service in 1957.<ref name="Polmar pp. 12–14"/>
