A Starfighter in USN markings.

[syscom3]

A U.S. Navy Lockheed F-104A-5-LO Starfighter (USAF # 56-740) carrying a Sidewinder 1-C missile at the Naval Air Weapons Center China Lake, California (USA), on 29 July 1960. One of the few photos I have ever seen of a Starfighter in Naval livery; they were only used by the Navy at China Lake for Sidewinder testing.
