Dave is F-4-plus-sized, similar to the Super Hornet or Typhoon.

One question not answered in the literature is the STOVL MTOW of the B from the nominal 550 foot deck run. Point being, that if you want to exercise your non-stealth options to carry external stores, how much can you actually get off the boat? Clean MTOW is about 50,000 pounds, with full internal fuel, AMRAAMs & 2 x 1000 lb bombs...
