Someone still has to control them, like the drones.

Well there you go. My Dad was a mechanical engineer retired. If I would have been smart would have done Robotics Engineering, instead of Aviation, oh well I love Airplanes. Ever since working on F14 Tomcats.

When the F18 super hornet could carry the Phoenix missile that limited the Tom cats life. I can't believe the Navy is going with the F35, you think they would've learned their single engine fighter with the A7.

agree
A7 was light attack, not a fighter. Our motto was " There is no slack in light attack" . I was a A7 mech in the early 80's

I'm just wondering, in today's Navy, one platform is used for multiple roles or missions, correct?

Until the F35, comes along there is F/A 1
Until The F35 comes along the F/A 18 is it. Even the F18 has taken the E/A 6 B role, as the E/A 18 G .
Us Air Force guys remember when you Navy guys dropped the F-14 over the side with a cruise missle attached to it. Then had to race the Russians to the bottom to keep them from getting hold of it. Airplanes and boats just don't mix hahaha
