No DOD corporate memory - didn't we learn anything from McNamara's TFX
fiasco?

The Air Force has used Navy fighter [F-4s}and attack [A-7s] aircraft
from concrete runways. The Navy can NOT use Air Force fighter and attack
aircraft from carriers!

Note that the F-35C will be the last version produced. The Navy has
F/A-18E/Fs
and it may well come to pass that they would rather continue to buy F-18s
than pay through the nose for F-35Cs.
I personally predict that few F-35C's will be built.
Agreed. Few or none.

A conclusion similar to this study.

Hopefully, if they won't eventually buy the -C model, they will stop
the design/development process before too many costs are racked up.
