> Does anyone know if the Navy has any Stealth Aircraft in it’s inventory?

According to USAF propaganda: no. In reality: yes. F-18 aircraft (and DDG 51
destroyers) have significant stealth qualities. The only difference
between USAF
and USN aircraft is that the USAF is willing to pay more (of our
[USA] taxes) to
get more stealthy features, either in technology or to cover more of the
individual aircraft. Unique features, if there are any, of USAF “stealth”
aircraft are unique solely because the USN rejected them. Unique stealth
technology might be related to the B-2’s severe airframe maintenance problems.

USN/USMC aircraft probably are built for primarily forward-aspect stealth. No
doubt USAF “stealth” aircraft have better “all-aspect” stealth features but the
cost is very high: according to the FY99 defense bill, for less than the USAF’s
cost for 2 F-22s the USN-USMC will buy 6 F-18Es and (not “or”) 6
AV-8Bs (the USN
budget requests 30 F-18Es and 12 AV-8Bs).

The USN told the Senate Armed Services Committee years ago that Aegis ships can
detect USAF stealth aircraft and challenged the USAF to a test. The USAF denied
that the test would be representative of combat and refused to participate.
Later, during Op Desert Storm an RN Type 42 destroyer reportedly detected and
tracked aircraft that turned out to be USAF F-117 “stealth fighters.” The USAF
claimed that they were not operating in stealth mode. It is possible that this
meant only that USN aircraft were not dropping decoys to distract or overload
tracking radars at the time.

BTW: _Its_ inventory. Possessive pronouns don’t have apostrophes.
