The Growler is fairly unique as a carrier-based fighter that's

The F-35B is a definite no because it is comparatively limited range, but the others would work just fine.

Isn't the 35C the carrier version anyway?

>>27921213
For America yes, was talking more about for the Brits. The USN has said there's no current plans for a F-35C equivalent to the Growler, they're just making more Growlers. It's a pretty young bird after all.

The F-35B has a larger combat radius than the Growler, much less the F-35C, which has 200mi more.

You have no clue what you're talking about.

The growler will be poorly replaced by some pods hanging off an F35, so sure.

There are no plans for this. At all. Superbugs and Growlers will be serving alongside F-35Cs for the foreseeable future.

Unlikely. Even if they make the pods themselves stealthy, you can't hide the sheer amount of emissions it'd be making, it'd massively damage it's stealth capability.

As opposed to a Growler which has none of that stealth anyway.

Stop making it sound like an F-35 with a single thing on a wing becomes useless.
