The F-22 could have gained a greater aspect ratio wing, in much the same sense that the F-35C did. Of course, the F-35C has reduced G load capability, because the main spar wasn't redesigned, but I don't know that the Navy would have required the same maneuvering capability. Of course, the greater AR wing would also reduce supercruise speed.As for the YF-23 Naval variant, it was reportedly quite different from the YF-23 and rather ugly to boot.
