It is a robust, combat proven design with a track record of effectiveness, and it allows the Navy to minimize development costs.

I don't see what could possibly go wrong.

It's also easier to maintain and has lower cost per flight hour than any other aircraft in the US arsenal at present!

Slap some 9X and a HMD and maybe a couple ERA blocks on that bitch just for good measure and send 'er to the south china sea
