The F-111 was supposed to have a Navy version that was carrier ready,
but it never got off the drawing board. It was just too heavy to be
workable. The F-14 ended up doing the job.


It got a bit further than the drawing boaed. Seven F-111Bs were completed
and one did make a few carrier landings and takeoffs.
