"Although South Korea does not currently participate in the F-35B project, the prospect of flying the STOVL fifth generation fighter from Dokdo (or potentially from Dokdo’s successors) undoubtedly appeals to some South Korean defense planners."
About the only thing the F-35 will qualify as is a fifth-generation failure. By definition of its' Joint Operational Requirement Docuemnt (JORD), created in the 1990s and signed off on at the beginning of the last decade, the F-35 will be obsolete vs. emerging PacRim threats.
Power projection with surface ships, requires real air power solutions.
