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!  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!

Got the same thing here...
Cape Town - The woes of the Navy's SAS Manthatisi submarine, which has been out of commission for nearly three years, include fuses blown because someone inserted a plug in the wrong socket, Defence Minister Lindiwe Sisulu said on Monday. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/Ne...-woes-20101213 |

Anyone know a tax free offshore haven where we can invest just the interest in?

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.
