The F-14 Tomcat followed a history of
"Cats" in the military. The F4F Wildcat and the F6F Hellcat that
fought in the skies years before the Tomcat ever bit 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, Naval Operations for
Air. The aircraft was dubbed "Tom's Cat" long before the official
name of "Tomcat" was ever adopted.
