Greenert: USN needs F-35C but opens the door to number being purchased

Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan Greenert reiterated his service’s commitment to the F-35 program but leaves the door open on how many F-35Cs the Navy will purchase.

“So the question becomes how many do we buy, and how does it integrate into the air wing,” he said. “We are just sort of getting into the details of that.”
