It's a shame we are retiring that bird.
If the Navy's smart, they get in on the ground floor of the FB-22 program.

I've looked at the FB-22 footprint.
Good luck getting it safely onto the flight deck of a carrier--the trailing edge of the wings will hit before the main mounts unless it comes in at a very low AOA.
