Lovely.  After the F4, which was originally a Navy a/c, USAF wanted the next air superiority a/c to be USAF, and stood behind the F15 Eagle's development.  Meanwhile, the Navy had Grumman take its F14 Tomcat, strip out all the bits that made it carrier based (reducing the a/c weight significantly) and put new engines in it for a flyoff with the F15.  USAF would only allow the earlier f14 to fly against their baby.  On paper, the revised F14 would have outperformed the F15.  Egos.
