Introduced into service in the years 1974-2006 (the Cold War and modern era), it was the main fighter force of the U.S. Navy. The F-14 is renowned for its participation in operations such as "Desert Storm", "El Dorado Canyon", and numerous patrol missions over the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf.
