They really aren't; the Navy uses them for dissimilar combat training out in the desert. General Dynamics (via Chance Vought) did offer a navalized version (folding wings, beefed-up landing gear, probe-style aerial refueling gear) of the F-16 known as the V-1600 but the Navy went with the F/A-18 (based on the YF-17 that had lost to the F-16 for the USAF's light fighter contact) instead.
