[i]"An initial development contract for six prototype and evaluation "YF-14A Tomcats", as the type was designated, was awarded to Grumman that same year. [b]Incidentally, the name "Tomcat" was selected partly to in tribute to Navy Admirals Thomas Connolly and Thomas Moorer. Connolly was such a strong supporter of the program that the aircraft was referred to as "Tom's Cat", and the name stuck.[/b] The contract was later modified to fund twelve YF-14As. Development went forward under Grumman program manager Mike Pelehach. "[/i]
