Historical background:
- The F-4K was the first Phantom variant adapted for operations from British aircraft carriers such as HMS Ark Royal, with reinforced landing gear and Spey engines optimized for shorter decks.
- After carrier operations ended in 1978, all F-4Ks were transferred to the RAF, where they served as front-line interceptors until the early 1990s.
