Fleet defence against Soviet long-range bombers was what the US Navy had in mind when it ordered the all-weather Demon. Early engine trouble delayed the type, and the improved F3H-2 series arrived with the Allison J71. On the F3H-2M, first flown in August 1955, guns gave way to four Sparrow I missiles, making it one of the first Navy fighters armed with air-to-air missiles.
