Carrier Strike Group Two CSG2 conducts sea trials in the Atlantic prior to deployment - F-14 Tomcat Final Deployment

In its crouched position, an F-14 Tomcat from VF-213 'Blacklions', AJ210, accelerates off the deck of the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 during sea trials prior to their 2005 Mediterranean deployment. This would be the final cruise for the F-14 Tomcat and the last time it would ever see combat.
