Navy Phantoms were capable of carrying a 20mm gunpod, but there is an
abundance of references stating this weapon was worse than useless for
air to air use, and thus not carried. However, I can't really find any
reference on the use of the gun in air to ground work. I know Air
Force Phantoms used gunpods for this, but did the Navy?

Marine Corps F-4s certainly did. We've always liked cannons,
whether ground-based artillery or airborne .30 cals, .50 cals,
20mm, 30mm. [Or even the 105mm carried by Puff and its
descendants.]
