Hmmm.  Military Twitter is all a buzz about this but we've known they've been working on a B-2 copy for years.

From my non-aviation expert seat I'm betting it'll be a variation on a theme.  Semi-stealthy with long range and a huge weapons load.  In other words it'll be part of their carrier killing kill-chain.

Hope the US Navy is getting up to speed on its Fleet Defense and anti-missile systems cause all quadrant strikes on our carrier battle groups are being developed right before our eyes.
