Increase production of the F-22, and develop the F-22N Sea Raptor variant.

The F-22 requires 30 hours of maintenance time for every 1 hour of flight during peace time. No AF in the world would be able to effectively maintain such a fickle aircraft during war time.

The Navy bailed on the whole program eons ago, back when it was just the Advanced Tactical Fighter requirement and the F-22 had been selected, I think. Apparently they think the Super Hornet is all they’ll ever need.
