Good luck to the RN's 2 CVFs with a relative handful of rather short legged F-35Bs........... :o I cannot think of any other Navy that has ever designed a carrier for ONE specific aircraft, only! IMhO this aircraft program is THE BIGGEST BOONDOGGLE in military history. :( DFO

Well time will tell eh Dennis , some might see it as Faith in a product , others might share your point of view its true 8-)

But if it fails we won't be the only ones with Egg on our face , and it will create a huge shift in faith from integrated technology and partnerships aiming for the same goals .....for instance...... we had our TSR2 project pulled from under our feet , and as we both know ....History has a nasty habit of repeating itself ....has it not :roll:
