F-14B Tomcat
The F-14 Tomcat continued the history of "Cats" in the military. The F4F Wildcat and F6F Hellcat fought in the skies many years before the Tomcat ever been the air. In the late 1960's the US Navy dropped its TFX program and decided to focus on an aircraft dedicated to fleet defense. Grumman had already begun developing the F-14 and was definitely headed for a "Cat" designation. The person responsible for this project was Admiral Tom Conolly, Deputy Chief of Naval Air Operations. The aircraft was dubbed "Tom's Cat" long before the official name of "Tomcat" was ever adopted.
