Does the magazine LOS! have an English language edition?

subbrief

I don't know. They will translate the article for me, maybe I can publish it here in English if they don't sell it in English (I can't violate the copyright).

The NAVY budget is 750B? Are you sure that not the DOD as a whole?

subbrief

In my world, the Navy is the DoD. It might be the whole DoD and if that is the case, it's a bargin.

Hey, Aaron, so with escalating tensions in the South China Sea I've read in the past year that some Naval brass isn't entirely sold on the F-18 and/or the F-35 as being "fighter-ready" aircraft. Granted the F-35 is a fifth-generation fighter and all ... the "brass" is considering wanting to bring back the F-14 for CAP. Is there any validity to this?

subbrief

That is particularly true. The F-35 is not ready in enough numbers to sustain a fight. The F-14 is never coming back.... but the Extended Range AAW missile is in development.
