U.S. Navy Fighters is a combat flight simulation game developed and published in 1994 by Electronic Arts for DOS PCs. The game was programmed by Brent Iverson, who previously worked on EA's 1991 release Chuck Yeager's Air Combat. The U.S. Navy Fighters expansion pack Marine Fighters and a "Gold" compilation were both released in 1995. Later that year, Electronic Arts added graphical acceleration support for the game via the Nvidia NV1 when the chip was announced.
Electronic Arts would re-brand the game as the earliest entry in the Jane's Combat Simulations series, issuing an rebranded version in 1996 for Microsoft Windows with additional content and an updated title, Jane's US Navy Fighters 97. The content from the base game, expansion, and reissue would be combined with Jane's Advanced Tactical Fighters into a unified interface for re-release in 1997 as Jane's Fighters Anthology. U.S. Navy Fighters received a Japan-exclusive PlayStation port courtesy of Electronic Arts Victor, released on November 6, 1997.
