I think you're right on that account. The navy has specific standards like a ruggedized airframe to withstand the shock of catapult take-offs and tail-hook landings.

And from I could see of the proposal I read, they are going to offer exactly that.

But the Air Force fighter doesn't have to be especially maneuverable due to its stealth characteristics.

Btw, the F-111 was supposed to be a joint-service interceptor. But the navy went with the F-14.

But the F-4 is a shining example of a great aircraft that met the needs of every service.

Loud as hell though...

Regards,

Ron
