F-35 Cancelled, then what ?

I would suspect when the max. weight STO deck takeoff is accomplished we will know about it (which ship?). Ski Jump testing at Pax River was due to start in 2012 I believe until the UK switcheroo from B to C and back to B put the ski jump tests back to probably later this year? Recently on this thread there was a report that the Pax River ski jump was carefully measured for accuracy of the build.
