F14 fuselage strakes

Hi, just realised after years of looking at it, the F-14 has 4 large fore aft strakes on the top of the fuselage, just a bit behind the wing pivots. I'm guessing these are to stop untoward fuselage cross-flow around the stall. Does anyone out there know the real reason for these strakes? Regards Mark
