Only the big winged Navy version has lower wing loading. What worries me is that it weighs more than the F-15C ! The f-15 E and stealth eagle is a bit heavier but still higher in thrust.

The Stealth Eagle is the better deal, imo.

The Silent Eagle may be worth buying, but not for Naval Aviation.

It’s not a carrier capable aircraft

Problem is that the F-22 is about the same cost at the end of the day so F-15 is a hard sell.

Our only current options for Carrier aircraft is more FA-!8, bring back the F-14 and/or the F-35C
