Makes me curious about the old Kirk Douglas movie The Final Countdown where the modern carrier Nimitz is about to be pitted against Japan's Kido Butai. Wouldn't heat-seeking missles be fairly useless against prop-driven planes? Luckily Tomcats still carried guns.

Fortunately, the F-14 has radar guidance, which, I assume, would still work on the Zeroes.
