The Grumman F14 Tomcat is an American carriercapable supersonic, twinengine, twoseat, twintail, variablesweep wing fighter aircraft. The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy's Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program after the collapse of the General DynamicsGrumman F111B project. A large and wellequipped fighter, the F14 was the first of the American Teen Series fighters, which were designed incorporating air combat experience against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War.

The F14 first flew on 21 December 1970 and made its first deployment in 1974 with the U.S. Navy aboard USS Enterprise (CVN65), replacing the McDonnell Douglas F4 Phantom II. The F14 served as the U.S. Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor, and tactical aerial reconnaissance platform into the 2000s. The Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) pod system was added in the 1990s and the Tomcat began performing precision groundattack missions.

The Tomcat was retired by U.S. Navy on 22 September 2006, supplanted by the Boeing F/A18E/F Super Hornet. Several retired F14s have been put on display across the US.

Having been exported to Iran under the Pahlavi dynasty in 1976, F14s were used as landbased interceptors by the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force during the Iran–Iraq War. Iran claimed their F14s shot down at least 160 Iraqi aircraft during the war (only 55 of these confirmed, according to historian Tom Cooper), while 16 Tomcats were lost, including seven losses to accidents. As of 2022, the F14 remains in service with Iran's air force, though in low numbers of combatready aircraft due to a lack of spare parts.
