	Navy Matters \| Future Joint Combat Aircraft (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Future Carrier Borne Aircraft was thus renamed in May 2001 as the "Future Joint Combat Aircraft" (FJCA) to better reflect its status as a common Royal Navy/Royal Air Force (RN/RAF) aircraft capable of both sea- and land-based operations.
		This decision was expected as the CVF carriers are also at least two years behind schedule, and the MOD is reluctant to lead bringing the F-35B service with all its potential problems, rather than have the benefit of the USMC's trail blazing.
		However the RN remains determined that its new carriers will still be able to operate three full 12 aircraft JCA squadrons, despite intense pressure to reduce the carriers size and cost significantly on the basis that there is no point in having large carriers often with empty hangers and flight decks.
