The primary goal of the upgrade is to make the Super Hornet play nicely with the Navy's incoming F-35C. The carrier variant of the F-35 is the last of the F-35s to enter service, as it has not reached initial operating capability (IOC) like the Marine and Air Force jets have. When the Navy starts flying the fifth-generation fighters, their air coverage will have a lot more incoming data to share and analyze with various aircraft."

SSgt (Join to see) I Hope Part of that Upgrade deals with the Oxygen System that's had a Few Hick-Ups as of Late (Not Nearly as Bad as the Trainers Though)

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel damn right! With all the issues the other versions of the F-35 has had, and the issues that the current Navy training jets are having, I think we're looking at upgrades to old frames for some time to come.
