We'll see what the real operational range is with the bays full of
weapons and no external tanks. So far, all the numbers I've seen
amount to hand waving.

The Navy just bought another 210 F/A-18s, so they may agree with you,

The contract for 210 more Super Hornets is just for part of the original

It is an the second option and a very nice product recomendation for
McDonnell.
