New Scenario for Testing: Mediterranean Fury 4 - Secure the Flank

Be careful with closing the Battlewagon or any other ship to gun range.

The Syrians are known to operate Styx missiles coastal batteries.

The F-14 upgrade program was certainly caught up in the peace dividend cuts of the early 90's

In Northern Fury the upgrade program goes something like this:

F-14A - 478 were built in both the real and NF world
F-14B - The Bomb Cat was an interim measure and historically there were 86 (19 new and 67 rebuild). In NF they are all new and there are 120 of them
F-14D - These are all rebuild, also alternatively called Bomb Cat and Super Tomcat but should not be confused with the Tomcat-21. At war start they are not yet LANTERN equipped so limited to dumb bombs - this will change BTW. Historically the USN only rebuilt 37 to this standard, in NF the upgrade program is in full swing and the plan is to convert all A & B models to this standard. At war start there are 162 in the fleet with another 48 undergoing rebuild (so there are 210 F-14A airframes not available), these will join the fleet at a rate of 8/month.

The F-14D Sqns are: VF-11 & VF-31 on Carl Vinson, VF-34 & VF-124 on JFK and when she comes on line VF-301 & VF-302 on the Stennis. The FRUs on each coast have about 20 each for training and there are a few at Miramar as well.

Taking another look at the web page, I need to re-write it so it is a lot more clear. I guess that's what happens when you build the page off of a bunch of ad-hoc notes.

OK here is Ver 1.31

I've been updating this one in an ad-hoc fashion so may have missed something but I believe most of the issues mentioned above are fixed.

Guys

Realized I had not gone final on this one - any points on this version?
