不想再要F-18战机 美海军：不是中俄对手，希望全部换成500架F-35

Moreover, the purchase cost of the Super Hornet is not cheap. The price of buying a Super Hornet is equivalent to the price of upgrading and maintaining three Super Hornets. The above combined reasons are an important prerequisite for the U.S. Navy not to purchase more Super Hornets. .

It is best to keep the existing Super Hornet and replace these Super Hornets with the 5th generation or even the 6th generation that is under development in the future.

洛伊瑟其言外之意就是不再想要4代机的超级大黄蜂，很显然他是希望用5代机和6代机来装备美国海军航母，现在可以上舰的5代机只有F-35C，6代机的服役遥遥无期，洛伊瑟希望美国海军采购足够多的F-35C战机替换下所有的超级大黄蜂战机，如果国会批准的话美国海军将拥有500架F-35C战机。
