Call for RN’s F-35B to be renamed ‘Sea Lightning’

A former head of the Royal Navy, Lord West of Spithead, is seeking to retain navy tradition and is seeking to have the F-35B renamed ‘Sea Lightning.’

Many previous fighters with Fleet Air Arm had the prefix sea attached to their original names, one example is the Sea Harrier.
