J.51 Pike with SHARK

It's the Pike, with a twist: It can take off from the Tiny. Kind of. The SHARK (Short-runway, Hydroplane: Airspace Response Kit) system allows the J.51 to take off from a relatively short runway, so long as there's water in front of it. After building up speed, it hydroplanes when it hits the water. Upon reaching takeoff speed (about 175mph), activate control group 4 to jettison the pontoons and take off. Four Interceptor AAMs are then ready to hit whatever bombers decided to get too close.

Also I'm starting to realize I'm pretty bad at acronyms.
