其实，F35B本来是对我们最大的威胁

周围若干美国盟国的海军都装备了/计划装备LHA级别的两栖攻击舰或者直升机“护卫舰”。 日本的16DDH和22DDH，各计划了两艘， 韩国的独岛级3艘，澳大利亚的堪培拉级两艘。在我们没有丝带之前，这样的轻型航母单舰编队即可对目前水平的我国海军舰队造成严重威胁，何况周围一圈扎堆的轻型航母了。这种压倒性的海空优势，也会使得中国被迫于邻国发生冲突的门槛大大降低。

本来陆战队的规划是：下一代LHA，MV-22，AAAV和F35B构成一个有机的整体，使陆战队自己独立入侵别国的能力大幅提升至仅次于美国海军的水平。同时，这些装备大大降低了航母编队的门槛，让美国的亚洲盟国们也能“集成于标准化的美军装备体系之中。”现在奥巴马政府对陆战队这个计划的态度显然很不友好啊~

假如乐观的估计，2025年前2艘装备黑丝舰载型的中/大，常，弹航母能够形成战斗力；而F35B计划又如同我们希望的那样不了了之，那么西太平洋的力量对比，一下就逆转过来了。美国这些盟国可就得好好选择一下该抱那条大腿了。


正因为如此，我相信F35B这次“留校察看”，只是对洛马的一次警告。有这么大地缘政治意义的项目是很难取消的

The F-35B, if it ever arrives, would be a real help, serving as part of that indispensable inter-operable glue that holds America’s complex Pacific coalition together.  The airframe would help tie strategically important countries to the US for years and open avenues for future regional collaboration–in say, a more formal arrangement, or a Pacific NATO.  I mean, if you believe that melding together some sort of collaborative security coalition in Asia is important given the slowly-descending Bamboo Curtain, then standardizing aircraft is a big part of that picture.

So, if the F-35B does go away, America’s major Pacific allies will be left with, well, a brace of aircraft-less aircraft carriers.  And that, on the part of those who spent their treasure to buy F-35B-friendly platforms, is going to sting a bit.  Nobody likes to be left holding a few multi-billion dollar platforms that fail to provide the expected operational benefits.

With China looking set to finally field their first aircraft carrier, the demise of the F-35B means that America’s Asian partners will “loose face”–and a substantial security blanket.  While it is too early to know just what the ramifications the likely F-35B implosion may have upon Pacific security, at the end of the day, it isn’t good news if regional partners cannot respond in kind to a Chinese carrier task force.
