"The US Navy did not buy the F-35B. The Marines did."

Correct, the Navy has the F-35C (C for carrier version). I imagine the Navy has some of the STOVAL ones also though, correct?

Only because the Navy owns the Marine Corps. All F-35s for the Navy are F-35C and all F-35s for the Marine Corps are F-35B, and all F-35s for the Air Force are F-35A.

The British Royal Navy are purchasing F-35Bs for both their Air Force and Navy.

I did a quick search and found no mention of the US Navy having B variants. I know a person that works at the plant for the F-35 in Fort Worth and they tell me a B versions are going to the Marines.
