Back in the mid-60’s the US Navy was considering a radical alternative to the Fleet Defense problem, the Douglas F6D Missilier. The plane was essentially a non-maneuverable “missile-truck” designed to loiter with it’s missiles at the fringes of the CVBG and shoot down any hostile aircraft.
There were technical problems with missile performance, aircraft identification, and so forth that we still grapple with today that killed the Missilier. What we got instead were the F-4 Phantom and F-14 Tomcat — both of those aircraft were classic high-speed interceptors at their inception, and retained a degree of ACM capability.
