I'm very interested in this :)
The 14s didn't intercept the missiles in combat, same as they didn't intercept the missileers in the form of Tu-22 or 22m/26. Let's not confuse capability with intent, and either of the two with what a random internet person tells us.
The F-14s were not to be...
An early model, the G-303-1, I believe of the late 60's VFAX program featured canted outward vertical stabilizers like the YF-17 and F/A-18 family
This feature was dropped in the later VFX program that resulted in the F-14 does anyone have an idea as to why and also what would be the effect...
This is posted in the alternative history and future speculation section. So it is not history, but it is close to history.
What if.....what if the P1154 is proceeded with?
How does that happen? And what are its effects?
.............
It could happen partly by not merging RN and RAF...
