DoD Buzz Lockheed: F-35B is ready for sea. Is the ship?
Great article about progress in the USMC/US Navy team.
Now lets get the F-35B to the Wasp and see what happens.
My bet - American Industry figures it out, and we have a better aircraft than the Harrier, and God Bless the Harriers for what they've done over the years.

U.S. ‘no’ on Taiwan F-16 bid reveals China sway - Navy News News from Afghanistan & Iraq - Navy Times
Another cowardly step by the Obama administration...........there's a simple fact in this article that is missing.........the Chinese need us as much as we seem to need them.
If they start playing bad guy w/our debt, then it hurts US companies ability to purchase from Chinese factories.
The commies can play hardball all they want, but they still need American consumers to by their junk!
