First reported in squadron with VF-121 Pacemakers, at the end of December 1960. The Phantom II would prove to be one of the finest aircraft ever operated by the Navy and Marine Corps.
A two-place, twin-engine, tricycle gear, carrier-based, all-weather fighter carrying missiles and special stores, the J varient was equipped with the AWG-10 pulse doppler radar and improved avionics.

Of the 4,261 delivered, 3,057 Phantom IIs were used by foreign services, with the British Royal Navy and Royal Air Force using a variant based on the F4J - F-4K/ FG.1 and F-4M/ FGR.2 respectively.

Even though the last delivery was made in December 1971, Phantom IIs would still be in use right up until the end of the 20^th century.
