2012-02-04T06:55:00.000-08:00

During the charge, none of these planes were shot down an enemy. This aircraft was manufactured as many as 21 units, where 1 unit has fallen not because of the fighting at their base, Guam. By law, the Americans are not going to sell stealth aircraft (B-2 Spirit, F-22, F-117) to any country.

The cost of making this plane starting from the idea, prototype to production a plane is 23 billion USD (about 205 trillion USD.). However, the price of a plane is 1.3 billion USD (about 10.5 trillion USD.). When 21 units of aircraft that is ready to operate anywhere around the world multiplied by 1.3 billion USD plus the cost of research worth 23 USD, then it's all worth 50.3 billion USD (around 490 trillion USD).

Ohio-class nuclear submarine that is a real successor of a series on nuclear submarines before, such as the Trident Class. Submarine was manned by 155 crew. Manufacture of submarines is extremely confidential, especially its nuclear reactor, none of the documents that can be tracked. But, obviously, all these submarine propulsion device following mechanical life support system in it (separation of water into the air, purifying sea water) is designed to be capable of operating up to 100 years old submarine. What does it mean? Suppose that the submarine was filled with food material, and sail around the ocean, the submarine was only stopped when the food material discharged, not because of its fuel runs out. The cost of making this submarine is about 2 billion USD (about 19 trillion USD.) Per unit. Currently the U.S. has 18 units of the Ohio-class nuclear submarines. Thus, the total worth of 18 billion USD (about 165 trillion USD.)

There has been no one else that has to be amphibious and served in the U.S. Defense official, just a prototype that is still being refined and developed.

With the establishment of four ships worth 1.8 billion USD, means the total cost is $ 7.2.
