The USMC is conducting a study of using the F-35 in this role as well,
because they do not want to buy the Growler. I have no idea how they
can claim that they lack the money to buy Growlers but will somehow
find the money to develop a dedicated F-35 variant.

Perhaps they aren't claiming that, but want a STOVL EW platform, so that
it can operate off the same ships/bases as their F-35s? The Royal Navy
might even fancy a few, if it can be made to work.
