AFAIK, CVN's (and USN surface fleet) is not nuclear
offensive, so the navalized F-35 doesn't need nukes,
and no "allie" wants or needs them.


You don't know anything of the sort because it's policy not to discuss
whether it is or is not.


By presidential order (Bush the 1st) all tactical nuclear weapons were
removed from USN surface ships and Submarines. Ordered in 1991
finished by 1992.


Would this not mean that by presidential order they could be put back?
