Well details are sparse but Marine Corps Times and Aviation Week are both reporting that the F-35B has again confounded its critics and has done what many hoped it wouldn't. It successfully started its sea trials.

Can't wait to read the comments from the haters!

Major league tip of the hat to Bjornar Bolsoy for the heads up.
