The Royal Navy received its first F-4K Phantoms, which carried the British designation FG.1, in April 1968.
The first operational use of the Royal Navy's Phantoms had come in 1969, when 892 NAS had embarked for training with the US aircraft carrier USS Saratoga in the Mediterranean, and had undertaken air defence missions alongside the ship's own F-4Js.
