The F 22 will shoot down an F 18 999 our of 1000 times.
Not even the F 15 has been able to lay a glove on the F 22 in air to air combat simulation. Every sortie ends up with the Raptor opponent toast.

So the F-22 kicks butt. I found this comment on www.airliners.net regarding the F-22N

"The fact is that USN politics will not allow the buy of a USAF aircraft, that is why the USN will not get a F-22N."

And here's something else off www.globalsecurity.org:

In early 1991, before the final contractor for the ATF was even selected, the consideration of the NATF was dropped. This was mainly due to the fact that the Navy realized that a series of upgrades to their existing F-14's could meet the Navy's air superiority needs through 2015.

The F-22N was studied in the Major Aircraft Review as an NATF concept, and canceled in large measure because the projected high gross take-off weight exceed the capacity of current carriers.

oh well...
