The instructions say to use " DECK BLUE " What other color would be close.

Which kit is it?

My instinct is to use a Gloss Sea Blue.

On a F9F Panther, for blue, it's definitely Gloss Sea Blue, not Deck Blue. A handful did serve in lacquered bare metal, and later in their service lives serving Panthers did get the Gloss Gull Gray over Gloss White. But for most, it was Gloss Sea Blue.
