I think the F-35 is a meme but the problem with the F-35 is some of the design philosophy leading to a shit plane when compared to some other fighters and the stupid program cost going crazy, there is still some interesting and valuable tech you can find if you found one of these on the bottom of the ocean for free, if anything just knowing what your enemy is doing in detail is already valuable.
I think people are still running off the steam from that time a Tomcat fell into the ocean off Scotland and it was a mad scramble to recover it before anybody else. The difference being the F-14 was a crazy capable aircraft and it was the height of the Cold War.
