    Vic - We cannot afford the F35 (to be built by Lockheed) and Phil is absolutely right.

    The F/A18 option has far more plusses than minuses going for it and it is wrong to say it is not so good. It is a superb aircraft, the latest front line fighter/attack aircraft of the worlds premier carrier navy.

    As for catapults, Vic - not outdated at all. The carriers are designed from scratch to have them retro-fitted in order to accomodate a range of aircraft types. In fact the original plan was to install a high tech type of cat that does not use steam as previous generations do/did. I am not sure which type will be fitted for the F/A18.
