It turns out the F-35 isn't the only ridiculously overpriced and underperforming weapons system the Pentagon has managed to foul up.
There is an even earlier aircraft carrier fiasco on the Navy's side...and apparently the ship was delivered before it was even fully operational (similar to the "can't fly very far and can't shoot" F-35 delivered to the Marines).
I wonder if F-35s will ever land on that thing? Nah...Navy brass are too smart to let a plane that like that near their expensive new toy.....
