Must have, seeing that the last F-14 was retired some years ago.
Matt, check out "Background" on this page:

Background
Current plan is to have Tomcats in service until mid-FY07. Tomcat squadrons
have already started to transition to the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet aircraft,
and will continue to transition in a phased approach.

That WAS the PLAN, back a couple years ago when the article was written, but
I recall (for what that's worth) that the last one was retired (for carrier
operations?) and the advanced Hornet was accelerated into operations. Wasn't
that a thread here just a few weeks ago?
