I'd really like to learn more about the F-4J avionics, including the APG-59 radar and the VTAS helmet mounted sight.
Here's two shots of the APG-59 radar; the first is a McDonnell-Douglas provided promotional picture, showing a prototype radar, the second picture is an operational radar...

In regard to the Sea Control Ships;
Canadair is proposing an enlarged CL-84 for use as a sensor carrier and command post for the US Navy's proposed "sea control ships".
