Thats a drop in the bucket compared to the JSF and Comanche.

we spent about 6.9 BILLION on that stupid rotor-craft, and the JSF has cost 338 Billion and still counting. (you know it's bad when they need a PR website to convince the public even).

The US has some 'phibs for sale with big ole dock wells that could carry a bunch of these.

Act now they are going fast! :yeah:

If you don't want to buy used can I interest you in a couple San Antonio class or Freedom class ships? Dear God please someone buy some!

It kinds of reminds me of an old story. In space writing with a pen can not be done with any ordinary pen. The ink just does not flow. The US government spent millions on study, engineering and testing a pen that will work in space. The Russians had the same issue in space. The Russians answer to problem was issuing pencils for writing in space. :03:
