Whut? Okay, given the mechanical nightmare of those swing wings it makes a certain amount of sense, but was this ever seriously proposed?

I don't think so. The IRL G-303-F was a single-fin derivative of what would become the IRL Tomcat...

So basically that would end up looking like a smaller fighter version of an A-5 Vigilante

The IRL 303-F was apparently still a swing-wing design.

A single fin, fixed-wing Tomcat is an abomination before God for it is the work of the devil!

Agreed, but IIRC, the G-303-F was still a swing-wing design, IRL.
