Recente voorvalletjes tonen wel duidelijk aan dat de ontwerpers van dit toestel de maritieme capaciteiten ervan schromelijk over het hoofd hebben gezien.

Denk je ? Wat bedoel je? dat navenant steviger landingsgestel met die haak achteraan en die opklapbare (grotere) vleugels?

Want meer verschil is er niet, ergens anders werd dat meergewicht deskundig gecompenseerd, door gewoon wat minder bewapening-/-infra, denk ik.

ff best wiki nemen:

The F-35C variant is designed for catapult-assisted take-off but arrested recovery operations from aircraft carriers. Compared to the F-35A, the F-35C features larger wings with foldable wingtip sections, larger control surfaces for improved low-speed control, stronger landing gear for the stresses of carrier arrested landings, a twin-wheel nose gear, and a stronger tailhook for use with carrier arrestor cables. The larger wing area allows for decreased landing speed while increasing both range and payload. The F-35C is limited to 7.5 g.

Vliegdekschip USS Carl Vinson nog voor de integratie van de F35-C:

Aboard Vinson are more than five dozen aircraft assigned to CAW-2.

Along with the “Argonauts” of VFA-147, the air wing includes the “Bounty Hunters” of VFA-2, which fly the F/A-18F Super Hornet; the “Stingers” of VFA-113 and “Golden Dragons” of VFA-192, both of which fly the F/A-18E Super Hornet; the “Gauntlets” of Electronic Attack Squadron 136, which fly the F/A-18G Growler; the “Black Eagles” of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 113, which fly the E-2D Hawkeye; the “Blue Hawks” of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 78, which fly the MH-60R Seahawk; the “Black Knights” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 4 flying the MH-60S Seahawk; and the “Titans” of Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadron 30 flying the Osprey, according to U.S. 3rd Fleet.

Vinson returned to San Diego in September 2020 in a homeport shift following a 17-month overhaul in at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility in Bremerton, Wash., where the ship went through a scheduled $367 million dry-docking and overhaul and upgrades throughout the carrier to include modernization to accommodate the F-35C.

Indien de F35-C maritiem minder geschikt is zal het eerder minder gebruikt worden op vliegdekschepen, als het ware enkel bij mooi weer ofzo.

Dus niets voor de Zwarte Zee...
