IIRC, the TAIP came about prior to any firm numbers of F-35 purchases.
In fact, for better or worse, the TAIP is currently be executed -- long
before the first production F-35 enters either the USN or USMC.

Second, the USMC F-35s are to replace AV-8Bs; and those VSTOL birds
haven't deployed aboard Navy big decks since the A mondel did, once,
back in 1976-77 aboard FDR ...

B: The USMC plans to buy zero F-35Cs.

So? That means, what? That the USMC is going to keep their F/A-18s is
what it means ...

Does A + B mean that the next USN big deck carrier will have a ski ramp?
;-)

Nope.
