When the US Navy is going to retire all of its F-14 Tomcats, what will
happen with the feared long-range Pheonix missile?


Its debateable how feared the Phoenix is. The Iranians claimed a number

of
kills from theirs, but the reality is that the Phoenix never saw use in

the
role it was designed for, which is defending carrier task groups at long
range from Soviet bomber attack.


Ok, we'll put you in the cockpit of a target aircraft and you can debate how
fearful it is
