Lockheed spokesmen have indicated Lockheed's belief that the expanded
mission capability is inhrent in the F/A-22, and the modifications
necessary
are easily attainable by using much of the tooling and basic structure,
merely tweaking the Raptor's airframe. It would thus be differentiated
from
the USN's Super Hornet in that respect, as the Super Hornet retains the
name
of an earlier a/c while retaining only a superficial resemblance and few
parts in common.

The b-one works now, the role is taken.
