Here is the math fails. If the Marine F-35B's have a range of 450
miles and the Navy's F-35C's have a range of 700 miles, how are the

By flying in, refueling, then flying further in.
You also have the question of "what happens if you lose your carriers?"
Besides, how will they get resupplied?
Air or ground, as usual.
