Atlantic Ocean (June 19, 2006) -- Sailors stationed aboard the
Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) watch
from the flight deck as an F-14 Tomcat assigned to the "Tomcats" of
Fighter Squadron Three One (VF-31), performs a high speed fly by. For
the past 30 years, the F-14 Tomcat has assured U.S. air superiority,
playing a key role in ensuring victory and preserving peace around the
world. The F-14 Tomcat will be removed from service and officially
stricken from the inventory in September 2006. U.S. Navy photo by
