F-14A prototype with 14 Mk 82 500lb bombs. The aircraft is most
likely number 4, 5 or 6 (BuNos:-157983, 157984 or 157985)
When the VFX specification was released in June 1968 it's print contained an important secondary role:-that of close air support with a bombload of up to 14,500 pounds. Thus right from the beginning the F-14 was designed to carry bombs, indeed early Grumman publicity material for the winning design (303E) shows it doing just that.
During the flight test program at least one of the pre-production F-14A conducted tests with 14 Mk82 500lb bombs attached to modified Phoenix launchers
