seem to remember when posts were in plain text too...

obramn: will the F35/JSF and maybe HV-22 lead new talk about building a sea
control ship as a carrier replacement?

Yes I do remember..As for the Sea Control ship loaded with F-35's and
Osprey..Forget it..The CVN will continue as the lead ship of the Navy.
Last week the Navy cut the steel for the as yet unnamed CVN-78. Majoor
construction will start in 2 years.
