Pheonix missiles on the F-14

[neilfgr2]

Guys,

Can anyone tell me if the F-14 used in the first gulf war carried the Phoenix missile??? so far ive done two Sparrows and two Sidewinders but was wondering if they carried the Phoenix. F-14 in question is one from the Sundowners off of USS Kitty Hawk

Cheers

Quick point though, I've just had a quick look through some refs and according to them neither the Kitty Hawk or VF-111 took part in Desert Shield/Storm?

Did not take part in The gulf war, however;

On 1 August 1992, Kitty Hawk was appointed as Naval Air Force Pacific's "ready carrier." The ship embarked Commander, Cruiser-Destroyer Group 5; Commander, Destroyer Squadron 17 and CVW-15 for three months of work-ups before deploying to the Western Pacific on 3 November 1992. While on deployment, Kitty Hawk spent nine days off the coast of Somalia supporting U.S. Marines and coalition forces involved in Operation Restore Hope. In response to increasing Iraqi violations of United Nations sanctions, the ship rushed to the Persian Gulf on 27 December 1992. Just 17 days later, Kitty Hawk led a joint coalition offensive strike against designated targets in southern Iraq.
