Because Navy needs an air superiority/deep strike jet, and neither the Super Hornet nor the F-35C can provide this.

The navy can get an air superiority fighter without outdated, maintenance intensive, and lead brick heavy features such as swing wings.
With modern computers there is also no reason to have a radar intercept officer.

The Super Hornet can do it with buddy tanking but hey.

Maybe they have to update the design (conventional wings, single seat), but the concept is still necessary.

The Super Hornet isn't capable enough (inferior air performance and lack of stealthiness).
