Can anyone address this:

Defense News on 28 June had this snip: "With F-14s as the only other
carrier-based aircraft flying tanker duties, ..."

It was in reference to the S-3 being retired and the F/A-18F [doesn't mention
the -18E g] having the ability to act as a tanker.

Anyone know of the Tomcat being used in the role of a tanker; especially during
the current period? Can the F-14 pass gas? Thanks
