Uhh you kinda got that back words the F22A has a smaller signature then both the B2 and F117 due to size vs the B2 and Technology vs the F117. the JSF is less stealthy then the F 22 yet still more stealthy then the F117. the advances in Ram, plastics, aerodynamics and stealth have made the 1970's-1980's F117 based tech pale in-comparison.
A ship at sea is not as safe a place as it once was, Look at the USS Cole. A Iowa Class Battle wagon is about a subtle as a mack Truck. it's outdated in has limited range of battle, And most of our enemies like to hide inland A battle ship for action in Afghanistan would be about as useful as a pair of Chimpanzies.
