U fiirso qoraalka hoose ka dibna ka jawaab su'aasha kadib isla luqadda qoraalka:  Marinka: 30kii Diseembar 1960, VF-121 "Pacemakers" ee NAS Miramar wuxuu noqday hawlwadeenkii ugu horreeyay ee Phantom oo leh F4H-1Fs (F-4As). VF-74 "Be-devilers" oo ku yaal NAS Oceana ayaa noqday dufcaddii ugu horreysay ee la geyn karo ee Phantom markii ay heshay F4H-1s (F-4Bs) 8dii Luulyo 1961. Ciidanka ayaa dhamaystiray shahaadada diyaaradaha ee Oktoobar 1961 iyo Phantom oo ah diyaaradii ugu horeysay ee diyaaradaha qaada inta u dhaxaysa Agoosto 1962 iyo Maarso 1963 markabka Forrestal. Ciidankii labaad ee la geyn karo ee Maraykanka ee Atlantic Fleet si ay u helaan F-4Bs waxay ahaayeen VF-102 "Diamondbacks", kuwaas oo si dhakhso leh u qaatay diyaaradooda cusub safarkii shaqaalaysiinta ee Enterprise. Ciidankii ugu horreeyay ee ciidanka badda ee Maraykanka ee loo adeegsado F-4B waxay ahaayeen VF-114 "Aardvarks", oo ka qayb qaatay safarkii bishii Sebtember 1962 ee USS Kitty Hawk. Waqtigii dhacdada Tonkin Gulf, 13 ka mid ah 31 ciidan oo ciidanka badda ah ayaa ku hubaysnaa nooca. F-4Bs oo ka tirsan Constellation ayaa sameeyay duulimaadkii ugu horreeyay ee Phantom ee Dagaalkii Vietnam bishii Agoosto 5, 1964, duulimaadka duulimaadka duulimaadka duulimaadka ee duulimaadka ee Hawlgalka Pierce Arrow.

Waxaa jira muran ku saabsan in Phantom-ka ay soo rideen qoryaha MiG ama, sida warbixinnada cadowga ay markii dambe tilmaameen, AIM-7 Sparrow III oo ka yimid mid ka mid ah garabka Murphy iyo Fegan. Bishii Juun 17, 1965, F-4B oo ka tirsan VF-21 "Freelancers" oo ay duuliyeen Taliye Louis Page iyo Taliye John C. Smith ayaa soo riday MiG-kii ugu horreeyay ee Waqooyiga Vietnam ee dagaalka. Bishii Meey 10, 1972, Taliye Randy "Duke" Cunningham iyo Taliye (fasalka hoose) William P. Driscoll oo duulaya F-4J, calaamadda wicitaanka "Showtime 100", ayaa soo riday saddex MiG-17s si ay u noqdaan asaska duulaya ee ugu horreeya Mareykanka ee dagaalka. Guushoodii shanaad waxaa la aaminsanaa waqtigaas in ay ka bad baadeen sir qarsoon oo ka timid Waqooyiga Vietnam, Colonel Nguyen Toon, oo hada loo arko mid aan caadi aheen. Waxaa...
