The B does answer naval requirements (allegedly...), just not the USN's, who still use conventional cat and trap carriers so they have no need of the B, which is why the C is tailored to their needs, the B is tailored to (at the time the design was laid down) the Royal Navy and USMC's needs, pretty simple to understand really...
