The full tale can be found in the stories section. Short version, USS Lake Champlain was sold to Canada in '69 and 34 months later was fit to carry the FGA10 model of the Phantom. Spey engines, Vulcan gun pod unlike other navy F4s, and a few minor changes and the FGA10 was a very handy piece of kit.
Camouflaged to confuse rather than hide, as you can never tell what back drop you will fight in front of, there was some awkwardness on the flight deck at night, but you can't keep a good Canadian down, and they coped.
A damaged supply ship in hostile waters gave Captain Pickerel and the good ship Freedom a chance to show a South American dictator (and the LBJ congress) how to win a fight.
I hope you like the F4 and the story.
