Default F14 vs F18F

Ok let's see what you experts are made of.... other than the sake of
politics, why would the Navy "replace" F14 Tomcat with the F18 Super Dud???
Unless the navy has kept some performance numbers secret--the F18 can't even
carry the Tomcats drop tank!--I understand the operational cost --but hell
the F18 can't carry half the weapon load, nor has the range.

"Lucy--you have some splainin to do!"
