Just because the F-4 was a fighter-bomber doesn't mean it was ever
called "FB-4". The F-15 is a fighter-bomber as well, and it isn't called
"FB-15" either.

I already admitted to that about 7 years ago. But you are playing into the
404thk00ks game here. No, it wasn't but it easily could have been since all
others before it carried that designation. But when you put a B up there
certain agreements with the Soviets became in question. The FB was dropped
and never returned even though you can nuke load out many fighters today and
use them for ground attack as well. You will note that the FA designation
is pretty well gone as well.
