http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairey_Spearfish

Having learned the lessons of the Fairey Barracuda, the Spearfish featured a much more powerful engine and an integral ASV anti-submarine radar (the external installation on the Barracuda caused problems with longitudinal stability). Problems with the Bristol Centaurus engine delayed the first flight until 5 July 1945. Only five aircraft were built before victory over Japan at which point further work on the project was stopped.

With a 60 foot wing span it would be a beast to land on the aircraft carriers they had at that time.
