>carrier landings for the Navy (F-22 cannot),
A naval variant capable of carrier landings of the F-22 was considered by the US Navy but was ultimately not adopted. The airframe is definitely capable of it, if given sufficient military and political will.

I’m 90% certain the airframe needs modification to support naval operations. The modification is so costly and difficult that Navy saw no reason to buy F22.
