Are you sure? I thought the USMC was the only service buying the CTOVL version of the F-35.

Pretty sure. As long as we can work out the technology transfer issues.

At present, Britain is slated to buy 150 F-35B STOVL (Short Take-Off, Vertical Landing) fighters for use by the Royal Navy on its carriers et. al., complementing the RAF's Eurofighters and possibly an upgraded set of Tornado GR4 strike fighters to form its fighter fleet from 2015-2030.

Gotcha. Thanks. What's the story on the Eurofighter?
