![]() I'm merely an amateur observer, but it looks like there are a couple of issues. Deployment to theater - means one fewer USN CTOL squadrons aboard the carrier once in theater. This might not be a big deal if you are mostly tasked with CAS for Marines, but for a large campaign using two CVNs, would they configure both air wings with a Marine squadron or not ? Cyclic ops - CTOL has long operated with tightly timed launches and deployments - do you launch and recover CTOL a/c together and STOVL together, but never mix types ? How do you change over deck if you are landing a stack of CTOL a/c and a STOVL has a an emergency landing ? Are they planning deck run takeoffs with JSF ?
