the carriers didn't have tomcats until 76. which is when they went to Nimitz' deck. Before that time the Phantom IIs had the VF-84 number and call signs . From 1970 to 1975 VF-84 was assigned to Carrier Air Wing Six aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42) for four deployments to the Mediterranean Sea. Roosevelt's twenty-first Sixth Fleet deployment was marked by indirect participation in the October 1973 Yom Kippur War, as she served as a transit "landing field" for aircraft being delivered to Israel. The Roosevelt battlegroup, Task Force 60.2, also stood by for possible evacuation contingencies. Planes of VF-84 escorted US transport planes to within 150 miles of Israel during Operation Nickel Grass, the resupply of Israel.
