I was under the impression that the powers that be also silently cancelled any further LHA's without well-deck after the 2 first ones, the next ones are going to be like the old ones again, so much for the MARINES carrier fleet I guess.
Also isn't the F35B grounded because of some ongoing structural issues on one of the forward bulkheads? (not100%sure about this)
The engine problem was an unforeseen (supplier quality) problem I think.
