Atlantic Ocean (March 10, 2006) -- F-14D Tomcats are staged in launch
position for their departure from the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS
Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) to their home port of Naval Air Station
Oceana. VF-213 and VF-31 are completing their final deployment flying
the F-14 Tomcat. 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 of
2006. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Chris Thamann
