I guess they’ve looked at beefing up the F-22 for sea duty.

Can anyone think of a USAF fighter which was "beefed up" for carrier service"?

Some have gone the other way - USN/USMC to USAF. Carrier service is a whole 'nuther ballgame.

Think "converting a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Lotus to run the Baja 1000 vs running the Ford F-150 Raptor on a paved road course".
