Maybe the anti-skid system malfunctioned??
Could be,
Navy planes are carrier capable so the carriage has more flex to it over say, an F-16. Good for snagging a three wire at mil power, bad if something goes wrong without a wire holding you, the flex you know.
If I recall correctly this problem was discovered on the A model. Miramar Ca. the first accident on a patch of water on the runway, plane flipped, took out one of our best pilots (Top Gun instructor).
