Are you sure about carrier deployment? It would seem very strange if there wasn't a naval variant.

It can not be carrier deployed, the f-35 will replace the f-18 in carriers.

There is no Naval variant of the F-22. It's not unusual; there was no Naval variant of the F-15, either.

The Air Force and Navy have vastly different requirements, such that it is difficult indeed to make one aircraft for both, unless you START with a Navy plane and Air-Force-ize it.
