Looks like FA-18s and an E2C on the deck. FA-18 wings are short with a straight edge. F14 wings are longer and swept at 120 on deck, 168 degrees in fairly rapid flight e.g. re-entering the pattern at Miramar as I observed them for 17 years.

F-14 wing sweep is greater on deck than in flight. Is that what you meant to say?
