so the marines with no F-35B would just switch to the super hornet/growler? the navy would go all growler/super bug? is that the plan? I'm just trying to see the logic
The navy would switch to a mix of SH/Growler and X-47/UCAS-D.

How about a guess that in 30 years time when an update is being done to the USAF A fleet they also buy some Bs but use the proven shaft horsepower off-take (around 29k) to drive a nice laser weapon mounted in the lift fan space?"]How about a guess that in 30 years time when an update is being done to the USAF A fleet they also buy some Bs but use the proven shaft horsepower off-take (around 29k) to drive a nice laser weapon mounted in the lift fan space?
DLWS is on the horizon JF, but the B-1 is getting it first.
