  1. One reason that Grumman and Douglas built so many aircraft for the USN was that the USN for many years, and they may still do this, would only accept aircraft from manufacturers who had a track record of building carrier-based aircraft. Hence Northrop had to get into bed with McDonell Douglas to get the USN to consider their YF-17.
