I remain at a loss to explain the USMC Conops in any credible way. As far as I can see, F-35B Stealthy Supersonic STOVL is required against:

- Double digit equipped IADS
- Direct support ashore of a MEU/MAGTAF
- Resupply by V-22 / CH-53K
- Can't be bothered to send a CVN

Not sure which scenarios this come under (other than "wildly improbable").

Can anyone enlighten me?
