Those aircraft supplied to the UK will NEVER be a match operationally to their American brethren.
The best bit is those building it will never have to fly it onto a deck, those here supporting it will never have to fail in their mission to support their fellow sailors/marines!!

The USMC will CERTAINLY fly the F-35B onto and off of smaller flat-decked ships than the RN will... without a ski ramp, too! Don't they count?
