Thx. I saw the doors and figured a partial rotation. To be honest, I never thought the F35B would make it to production. I thought the STOVL concept would limit too much in payload and range, but I knew that it was a USMC priority.

They already have a big fleet of STOVL aircraft and they had to replace them with something. On their amphibian ships it is STOVL or nothing.
