JediMaster 451 Posted June 26, 2013 As it says right in that slide, USN has not issued any formal requirements. They take the USN's statement about how long they expect the Super Bugs to stay in service, and going on the historical precedent of introducing a replacement roughly 10 years before the last is retired estimate when the new plane has to show up and work backwards. Is the USN working on this idea? Certainly. However, they have no formal plan and haven't said a peep. The contractors can't wait, though. If Boeing waits but LockMart doesn't, guess who has a significant advantage when the USN gets around to formalizing it and they find LM's already done a couple of years of design work on their own dime?
