Is YF-23 better than F-22?

Does the Navy fly F-22?
Instead of the F-22, the Navy years later ended up getting the stealthy F-35C Lighting II to be carrier-borne with folded wings. This summer marked the first deployment of the F-35C on the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group. The F-35C has highly evolved sensors that can “manage” a battle in the air.
What happened to the F 23?
The U.S. Navy considered using the production version of the ATF as the basis for a replacement to the F-14, but these plans were later canceled. The two YF-23 prototypes are currently museum exhibits….Northrop YF-23.

Who would win F-22 vs F-35?
The answer is that the F-35 cannot match the F-22 as an air superiority fighter—it was never designed as such. The U.S. Air Force’s original plan was for the F-22 to be its high-end air superiority fighter while the F-35 was designed to be primarily an air-to-ground strike aircraft, but one which could defend itself.
