Canceling the USAF JSF version forcing the USAF to buy the USN version
and perhaps some more F-22:s saves money now and will perhaps make the
procurement more expensive when the aeroplanes are in production. But
perhaps not much more expensive since the production runs will be
longer.

Except that USN does not wish to participate in the F-35 procurement, in
favor of replacing the F/A-18As with robots. The USAF, however needs the
F-35 to hedge their bet that the F-22 will ever be produced in any numbers.
