Well, trying to get an F/A-18 to perform the same role as either an
F-14 or A-6 would be a problem.  Because these aircraft are
"specialists", they can do their jobs *very* well.  The Hornet can't
cut it in all-wether, day/night strike missions.  Furthermore, It
can't use Phoenixes.

Are there any CVs out there still using A-7s?   I thought that thye
were replaced in favor of the F/A-18...
