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
