At least the Corps policy is clear;-) They rather suck all redundant
Navy F/A-18A+/C than let themselves to be sucked into F/A-18E/F&EA-18G
programme. However, at some point that could mean the whole All-
Weather Fighter Attack (F/A-18D) community going single-seaters, and
vanishing of their recce/FAC(A) function.

Yeah, but when push comes to shove, the Marines take what they're
given.

Walsh noted that even if the Marines' F/A-18Cs and A+ models wear out
before they can be replaced with F-35Bs, Navy F/A-18Cs replaced by
Super Hornets could be used by the Marines until more STOVLs are
available.

"We can't have a big huge beast," Walsh said about the need for STOVL
JSF. "We need a small footprint."- Hide quoted text -
