As of course you know, carrier fighters are a very different breed from land-based aircraft; witness the pitiful at-sea handling of the Seafire, far too fragile & crap u/c ( if you don't believe me, ask my dad, he was at Salerno ! ) compared to the Hellcat which excelled but would be no match for a Spit' .
I'm pretty conviced a marinised Typhoon would be in the Spitfire category...
A good analogy.
However, it's a bit unfair to say a Hellcat was not a match for a Spit. Maybe in a non-combat aero's competition as a pure pilots aircraft, but as a weapons platform the F6F was pretty much one of the best and probably better than a Spit.
In FAA hands it was a match for Luftwaffe 109's and 190's on the odd occasions they were encounted, and the F6F had the best kill to loss ratio in the Pacific theatre against Jap Zero's, Oscar's and Tony's etc and there were more Hellcat aces (over 300) than any other US flown fighter of WW2.
