Desktop Wallpaper - "USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) at twilights last
gleaming".

Five F-14B Tomcats, rest chained-down on the fantail of the
Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75).

Description: The F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, variable
sweep wing, two-place strike fighter manufactured by Grumman Aircraft
Corporation. The multiple tasks of navigation, target acquisition,
electronic counter measures (ECM), and weapons employment are divided
between the pilot and the radar intercept officer (RIO). Primary
missions include precision strike against ground targets, air
superiority, and fleet air defense.

Features: As a Strike Fighter, the Tomcat is capable of deploying an
assortment of air-to-ground ordnance (MK-80 series GP bombs, LGBs and
JDAM) in various configurations, while simultaneously carrying the
AIM-7, AIM-9 and AIM-54 air-to-air missiles. The F-14 also has the
LANTIRN targeting system that allows delivery of various laser-guided
bombs for precision strikes in air-to-ground combat missions and for
battle damage assessment. With its Fast Tactical Imagery (FTI) system
the F-14 can transmit and receive targeting/reconnaissance imagery
in-flight to provide time sensitive strike capability. A number of
F-14s also carry the Tactical Air Reconnaissance Pod System (TARPS)
providing in-theater tactical reconnaissance.

Background: Current plan is to have Tomcats in service until mid 07.
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

Complete installation instructions are provided.
