The arranged marriage between the USMC and Navy is official on F-35. CNO Adm. Gary Roughead and Marine Corps Commandant James Amos today signed a "tactical aviation integration" agreement whereby the Marines will purchase some F-35Cs to operate from Navy aircraft carriers. The plan is for the Marines to buy 80 F-35C carrier versions and another 340 F-35B Stovl aircraft.

“This decision to purchase C-model JSFs is representative of USMC commitment to tactical air integration with the Navy,” according to a statement from the commandant’s office “It is important to note that the continued development of F-35B remains the centerpiece of the USMC TACAIR fixed wing modernization program.”

While the Marines remain behind the F-35C, the program is riddled with problems, including the recent announcement that Lockheed Martin is shopping for another helmet solution after technical issues with the VSI systems helmet persist. And, it remains to be seen if this will eventually be thought of as the day that the Marine’s embarked on the slippery slope away from Stovl and headlong onto the aircraft carrier.
