While I agree the MMA might not be the best aircraft the navy could have
ordered it's the best currently on the market.


Well, to be nitpicky, the MMA is not actually on the market. It has to be
built. It is not simply a converted 737. Boeing actually promised to open
a separate production line. And it requires significant modification and
systems integration.

Late last year, when rumors of large defense cuts were sweeping the Pentagon
(to pay the operational costs of Iraq), the MMA was one of the things
rumored to be on the chopping block.
