Why bother with an F/A18 fix when you could have a two seat Typhoon with CFTs. We haven't got the Navs, so it doesn't really matter!
I just read an article, can't remember where, that the SuperBug can't use the Ford class carrier if loaded with external stores. It appears that the EM C'pult is so powerful that it wrecks the pylons. That'll be a cheap fix...NOT.
