19年第一首装备F35的航母是卡尔文森，海军官员回复这样说的：
“The Nimitz-class and Ford-class aircraft carriers, by design, can operate with F-35Cs, however, there are modifications to both carrier classes that are required in order to fully employ the capabilities of the F-35s and enable them to be more effective on a full-length deployment,”
Hernandez described the modifications as involving work to support the long-term deployment of F-35Cs, such as adding classified spaces to the carriers and installing more robust jet blast deflectors.（例如在航母上增加分类空间，并安装更坚固的射流偏转板。）
20年关于给肯尼迪号追加投资，让它服役就能装备F35C
“Modifying the ship, that takes money. The GFE systems, the landing system I need, the different way I need to maintain the F-35, that’s going to take some resources — money and time to get it done,” Capt. Philip Malone, the officer in charge of the development of the next three aircraft carriers, said at the annual Surface Navy Association conference.
“We’re evaluating what the time is to integrate those technologies on John F. Kennedy, and now I have to work the budget.”
Specifically, modifications include changes to the maintenance areas and pilot ready rooms and the installation of jet blast deflectors on the carrier deck, Malone said. Of the new equipment that’s needed, about 60 percent of it is furnished by the Navy, while the rest comes from the Newport News Shipbuilding yard that builds aircraft carriers.
（修改包括对维护区域和飞行员准备室的改变，以及在航母甲板上安装喷流偏转板。）
