The F14 vs what we are doing now

The History Channel recently had a piece on the F14. I did not realize that
plane came out of the F111 program. Nor that it could track 24 enemy targets,
engaging up to 6 at a time (and at long range).
Cynically wouldn't it be more correct to say that the US Navy would
have done anything to avoid buying the F-111B? They essentially
optioned it to death and then provide their own custom designed
replacement.
