Note that the F-35C will be the last version produced. The Navy has
F/A-18E/Fs
and it may well come to pass that they would rather continue to buy F-18s
than pay through the nose for F-35Cs.
I personally predict that few F-35C's will be built.

Agreed. Few or none.

Hopefully, if they won't eventually buy the -C model, they will stop
the design/development process before too many costs are racked up.
