Wasn't it the Chief of Naval Operations who, testifying before some House committee, said there wasn't enough thrust in Christendom to make the F-111 a fighter?

It was Admiral Thomas P. Connelly, who traded his military career for that statement. Congress did not want to hear that the F-111 was not suitable for carrier operations or the Air Superiority mission.
In thanks and appreciation, the F-14 was named by Grumman and the Navy the 'TOM'Cat.
