To be honest Spaz, that well known statement from legal history springs to mind; 'well he would say that wouldn't he'. When a very senior officer is giving a press interview on a project coming to fruition' after such a long hard road of procurement, he'd be off to the tower if he made the least ways critical observation, however, constructive.
George,
I fully agree, if the B answers Naval requirements, then why did the USN go for the much more able C? I believe the B to be as originally intended, a Harrier replacement. There is no reasonable argument for advancing B over A or C.
Ok, algebra lesson over!
